With deliveries waiting and a mortgage to be paid, there's only one inevitable thing ahead for Diane and Peter - a road trip together.

Movie Reviews

Newark Star-Ledger - 10/10 by Stephen WhittyEven if the film dutifully hits all the old notes, its characters are interesting, its California desert setting is novel, and its cast works hard. And not only is its star trying something new -- she's getting it wonderfully right.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenThe overall story serves as a metaphor for American life, where too many people spend a lot of time keeping busy without ever really enjoying the moment and without ever being truly alive.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Andrew SchenkerIn his tough-minded commitment to both his characters and to their lower-middle-class milieu, the filmmaker recasts his potentially disastrous material into something that feels emotionally honest, if not exactly revelatory.
Entertainment Spectrum - 8/10 by Keith CohenThe movie is a shining star in the indie universe much like "Frozen River." It hits the nail on the head in dealing with real feelings and honest emotions.
New York Press - 8/10 by Mark PeikertYou want to like Trucker. You really do. But writer-director James Mottern makes it awfully hard with his washed-out, predictable aesthetic.
Movie Retriever - 8/10 by Brian TallericoFeatures spectacular performances but these excellent actors are required to do too much heavy lifting with a script that plays out too predictably to be effective.
Back Stage - 8/10 by Pete HammondWith the sad state of the indie business Trucker may make a fast exit to Netflix, but thanks to Michelle Monaghan it's a trip worth taking wherever you may find it.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Rene RodriguezWritten and directed by James Mottern with more attention to character than to plot, Trucker is a simple, unadorned study of a loner forced by circumstance to embrace the world again -- but only on her terms.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanWhenever an actress takes on a gritty working-class role, the audience does a gut check of authenticity. Either the actress gets it, like Melissa Leo did in "Frozen River," or she doesn't, like Michelle Monaghan as the spoilin'-for-a-fight truck-driver heroine of the inert indie dud Trucker
New York Times - 7/10 by Stephen HoldenTrucker sometimes feels like a performance in search of a movie.
