Walter V. Addiego San Francisco Chronicle Feb 23, 2012
3/4
A lot of what takes place in "Roadie" feels overly familiar, and the film could have been a wallow in pathos except for the performances, especially that of Eldard. Go to Full Review
Rafer Guzman Newsday Jan 20, 2012
2.5/4
The hugely sympathetic Eldard ("Super 8") gives this slim movie a real, beating heart. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com Jan 7, 2012
The raw ingredients are promising, but the plodding script and Cuesta's lead-footed direction prevent it from going much of anywhere, including the viewer's memory. Go to Full Review
Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls Mar 5, 2019
A great, well-written character piece. Go to Full Review
