Whether it’s the sight of a comet streaking down to earth, a stalled bus sliding inexorably down the road into oncoming traffic, or a tank drawing up at a car-wash, The Road Movie is packed with the kind of crazy shit that even the most avid rubberneckers could only dream of. JG Ballard would call it a snuff film, no doubt. But the non-stop carnage is counterpointed by the fixed camera and the spontaneous commentary - sometimes stoic, often obscene - from the drivers and passengers, eye witnesses whom we scarcely ever see.
"This is a powerful drug." Charles Mudede, The Stranger
"Suspenseful and funny, occasionally poignant and often nearly unbelievable." John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
"The effect of watching these viral videos as a "movie" feels genuinely singular… between cinema and something else." John Semley, Globe and Mail
