McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Call it a vanity project or bargain basement movie mythos, but no hard-boiled biker picture ever looked or sounded like Road to Paloma. - 60
New York Daily News
Monument Valley makes an appearance, and there are soulful moments of slow motion. There’s enough heart here to make up for whatever first-timer miscalculations ride along too. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Momoa creates an involving if relaxed pace, one whose moody rhythms are infused with a kind of soulful spirituality. - 60
The New York Times
The film’s loose naturalism and strong acting — Chris Browning, as a liaison between the F.B.I. and the reservation, is especially enjoyable — are slyly seductive. - 50
The A.V. Club
Before the plot butts in, Road To Paloma works reasonably well as a moody travelogue that keeps finding new ways to show off its dingy bona fides. - 30
Village Voice
This film is numbingly dull. - 30
The Dissolve
Momoa does capture some scenes of genuine warmth and beauty that suggest he has the potential to develop a filmmaker’s eye for visual poetry. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Straining mightily for a mythic quality and reaching a predictably melancholic, violent conclusion, Road to Paloma mainly comes across as a vanity project star vehicle.
