My review of John Hillcoat’s film The Road is still in progress, but I’ve written an article about the story, how people respond to it… and how such dark, troubling visions like this one can be meaningful and even—dare I say it?—redemptive.
This is the first in a series of articles I am contributing to the good work of the people at The High Calling.
I just finished the book, and while I can’t say it was an “enjoyable” book, it was impossible to put down. I look forward to catching the movie when it comes to DVD. I think they made a great casting choice in Viggo Mortensen.
I want to read the book before I see the movie, but observing the response to the movie so far in the media has been fascinating. I look forward to your review of The Road.
Tina, look forward no longer! My review is posted: https://lookingcloser.org/2009/11/the-road-2009/
