This has to be one of the most depressing movies I've seen in a long time. In ways it seems like a mirror film of Blindness, but at least Blindness shows some light at the end of the tunnel. The Road continued in a path of utter hopelessness and fear, and gave such a down-trodden image of the human race. The film was stunningly beautiful in its barren landscapes and the acting fantastic across the board (kids are almost always an exception, unfortunately...), but so ridiculously depressing. There was such a literary sense to this film, but just like I have a hard time with stage to screen, The Road struggled going from page to screen. Unlike other posts, I won't tell you whether to see it or not, but know that this film was difficult to watch and was disturbing in a way not many other films are.
