The Road

(USA, 2009, 111 minutes)

In a devastated, post-apocalyptic America, a man and his son travel towards the coast merely trying to stay alive. Bleak, harrowing melodrama of hope and loss based on a Pulitzer-winning novel; impressively done, but very hard to take.

Starring Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, Molly Parker, Michael Kenneth Williams, Garret Dillahunt; and Charlize Theron.
