I watch a lot of movies on Prime. Every so often, these little gems pop up that I have never known existed. Anything with Dev Patel or Robert Sheehan in is usually worth watching and Zoe Kravitz's performance was an added bonus. Not sure why there were a few poor reviews but then every film is not for everyone. Whilst I laughed out loud at some of the situations, I did have a voice asking whether it was appropriate to make light of these devastating conditions. However, the way it resolves in the end just satisfied me enough that it was worth it. Definitely recommend a watch.

I enjoyed the movie right up until the end. The ending felt rushed, and well lame. A big build up then nothing. I took off 1 to 2 points because of that. Would I recommend it to others? Maybe, it depends on the situation. ***Spoiler Alert*** Why would the boy just hand over the ashes of his mother that he loved so dearly just because his father says "I know what to do with them" or something of that affect and the boy just walks off. Wouldn't the father who is just now reconnecting with his son say "I know where she would like her ashes, lets go there together"? Nothing was done with the girl. The boy says "I can't help you" and runs off???

Although some say this film is boring, I believe that it was a beautiful heartwarming story. I absolutely love robert sheehan, I love a lot of stuff hes been in like, the umbrella academy and misfits. Hes truly an amazing actor so that made this even better. This film isnt exactly action packed so if you like that sort of thing I wouldn't recommend it but if you like something more about characters finding themselves and discovering who they are ,I truly would. The only thing I was confused about was the character of alex it looked like he had feelings for Vincent but it was only very subtle. I heard someone say that Vincent just leaves Marie at the end but no he doesn't as in the last scene hes telling alex they'll go see her the next day.

He has Tourette syndrome. Her father does not know what to do with him, and his mother died. So it is parked in an institution where he befriends an anorexic and a boy suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. The film and WONDERFUL, laugh, cry, travels along all human emotions stripping them of And every garment and leaves naked in front of of a mirror that you put on the wall and will not let you escape, because the naked truth is that you can not bury it in the sand but it always comes back out. It's not easy to make a film with similar topics without resulting in ridiculous or offensive. Robert Sheehan and extraordinary, talented actor here demonstrates all his artistic and professional, in defiance of many actors become famous and you lack talent. VOTE 10 you have to see

This movie is a cheering (and serious) tale about complicated people sharing a complicated trip to the ocean. The story rolls with a wonderful narrative balance and the result is very entertaining. At the end I wondered who wrote and directed it and found out it was another astonishing female writer/director of these latter Movie years (Gren Wells). Then I asked myself (probably influenced by the Psychoanalytical atmosphere of the movie) why I rated it 8 and not 10. And it was simply because it was too easy for me (as it probably will be for you) to see what was going to come. A small lack of originality however does not affect the overall result, that remains really good. Moreover the movie offers the chance to put a new word in our vocabulary: Abreaction. Maybe you never heard it before but it's easy to figure out its meaning: it's what the story is about.

I saw Dev Patel was in this and willing to take a shot at this straight-to-video title. What a mistake. The portrayal of someone with Tourette's syndrome was portrayed more like a caricature rather than a character. The other actors were also bafoonish. Really terrible direction, especially considering there were several very capable actors in this. What a waste. The writing was excrutiatingly dull and derivitive. Don't waste your time on this one, there are so many better made, more entertaining comedy/drama's out there.

As one who has lived with Tourette's myself and as a parent, I was pleased at how accurately this was portrayed. Robert Sheehan was most impressive and expressive. This actor conveys such sad torture with his eyes whilst in the throes of episode, I just wanted to hug him. Though many with Tourette's display the tics and vocalizing rather than the verbal profanity often used to show example, this film got all angles right. The words of the father in regard to his son made me cry...the writer/director must have dealt with this in life as she got the raw emotion of this disorder from the eyes of both parent and child. The Tic Code starring Christopher Marquette and the late Gregory Hines is another revelation in film focusing on life with and the parenting of one with Tourette's. The way The Road Within ties together OCD, anorexia and Tourette's with these brilliant young performers had me wishing it had debuted bigger and they had received far more accolades for their work. Along with Robert Sheehan, Zoe Kravitz is a study in subtlety without being dull and Dev Patel is all palpable anxiety. Robert Patrick's guilty dad believably shows his true colors and Kyra Sedgwick makes an easy piece as caring clinical director her own. This film should be shown in psychology courses for study.

Thoroughly entertaining film. Simple story line. However the characters really build on you. They are interesting. A film with a million facial expressions. Excellent portrayal of facing your demons. Definitely worth watching. The characters are more easily portrayed for the actors due to the illnesses they each carry. They are portrayed as on the extreme of each illness, each being severe. However, the balance is good, surprisingly (and with great humor) it is never too over the top and stays believable. They each struggle with the extra water they try to carry through their lives. The main three deliver a great performance, I felt attached and I must admit I needed to shed a tear.

The critics all panned this and now I can see why. Should've read the critic's reviews BEFOREHAND so I wouldn't have wasted my time watching this on prime. What really irks me is that lots of people live with these diseases, and they tend to do it with a lot more grace than this movie possesses. This film trivializes and makes a mockery of these afflictions. It's simply lazy writing and lack of research. The characters in this are completely defined by their respective challenges. Not one of them seem to have a personality. They just have illness. And that completely rings false. And the person who directed this clearly didn't have the slightest notion of what they were doing. I wonder if Kyra Sedgewick realized what she was signing up for. A shame.
