... It’s no one’s finest hour. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Jun 14, 2023
2/5
The script does almost nothing to build up to the revelation at the end – and the human trafficking angle feels icky. Go to Full Review Luke Y. Thompson AV Club Jul 31, 2022
...neither brutal enough to play as an exploitation thriller, nor enough of a world-building deep dive into trucking and trafficking to measure up against similar and superior dramas like What Alice Found and Honey Bee. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Feb 12, 2024
It’s all a bit too much and too shallow. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Mar 13, 2023
Binoche, Grillo and – especially – Freeman, all act as though they can't wait for the ordeal to be over. After two hours of Paradise Highway, you will sympathise. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Sep 11, 2022
Juliette Binoche is unfortunately miscast as a gruff truck driver who goes on the run with a child trafficking victim in this tedious and tacky movie that is ineptly made on every single level. Paradise Highway leads to a hellish road of lousy filmmaking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Johnny Jul 29, 2022 Movie had a great story line. Acting was great. The only thing is, I would have liked to see a little more action. See more F R @FR2021 Apr 15, 2026 Excellent movie, really fine performances from all the leads. Includes Binoche Freeman Finley Grillo! See more Young S. @YoungStevie Apr 12, 2026 Wish I could tell you that the partisan leftwing critics are wrong. In this case they’re not. Its just not very good. See more Fred N @fneylan Nov 12, 2024 I don't know how they got big name actors for this mediocre script about a serious subject. So many implausible things, yet the ending was pretty predictable. See more Thomas S @RT38038238 Jul 24, 2024 Slow moving but watchable even though the subject matter is abhorrent. See more Sheria B @SheriaBrown Jun 30, 2024 I liked it. Juliette Binoche and Morgan Freeman were great in their roles. I highly recommend for drama/suspense thriller. I especially enjoyed the process of morality by main character Sally through her relationship development with the young girl. See more Read all reviews
