Reviews:
”Above Average Reservation Road is potent material but it is not presented in the most effective manner. “Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Above Average Reservation Road is a well-intentioned, well-acted but structurally flawed film.” USA Today
”Above Average ...it's hard to watch two fine actors working themselves into a lather for so little reward — manifest emotional turmoil notwithstanding, the way their dovetailing emotional crises play out is aridly schematic.” TV Guide Online
”Average For all its keyed-up back-and-forth, the movie just sits there and glares at us accusatorily, like the store clerk with a talent for making you feel like you've been shoplifting from the moment you walk in the door.” Newsday
