'The Road' traverses bleak, yet hopeful, terrain
If civilization were obliterated, what shreds of humanity would remain in those who survived? The Road probes the meaning of human connection. Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning, lyrical novel presents an intimate portrait of a father and son struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
The film adaptation is grimly faithful to the book, even as it adds heft to lesser characters.

DARK AND DEPRESSING
But GOOD! Cleverly directed to create intense tension. This movie is about the need to survive against great odds. This is a very dark film with the most darkest of thoughts.
