Leave your thoughts about Joyride.
| Original-CinKim HughesJoyride is terrific, a storytelling and acting gem bursting with heart yet never saccharine. |
| IndieWireJude DryThough the inimitable Colman can’t help but muscle an admirable performance out of the overly sentimental material, her immense talent dwarfs the melodramatic surroundings. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeJoyride needs some deft actors driving it, and it has lucked out: An up-for-anything Olivia Colman and scrappy newcomer Charlie Reid make for an unlikely but appealing buddy duo. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloIt may not come together as smoothly as the best feel-good movies of its kind, but there's an unwieldy charm to Joyride that makes the trip memorable. |
| EmpireJohn NugentIt doesn’t always successfully balance its comic and poignant tones, but yet another powerhouse performance from Olivia Colman makes Joyride a disarming experience. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThis odd-couple comedy road movie paints its characters in brushstrokes so broad you could land a jumbo jet on them, while the intrusively affable score lurches into every scene like a drunk with no concept of personal space. And yet Colman saves the picture, her thorny performance gradually revealing a well of pain. |
| TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanColman does her absolute best to counter a scenario that manages to be both strangely off-putting and patly predictable, by shaping up a tartly unsentimental turn. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinJoyride is a jalopy of a film. This Irish-set story of a brand-new single mother and a precocious 13-year-old boy who end up on the road together is so scattershot and far-fetched it overwhelms its better intentions — of which there are many. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJoyride, a grievously schematic blend of odd-couple comedy and life-affirming road movie, traverses the Irish countryside with a small degree of charm and a boatload of blarney. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawEvery actor involved sells it hard and it’s good natured, but the unbelievability factor is just too high. |
