Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

fresh:
The hugely sympathetic Eldard ("Super 8") gives this slim movie a real, beating heart.

rotten:
While the excellent cast does its level, honest best with the material, the material itself feels secondhand throughout.

fresh:
"Roadie" is short on narrative momentum, but it's a perfectly attuned character study of this rock relic and his middle-aged sorrows.
– Kyle Smith,

rotten:
Roadie has the stench of freshman-year mandatory creative writing all over it, from its cribs of Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller to an ending that's embarrassingly, clangingly metaphorical.
