Critics Consensus: The Roads Not Taken is the well-acted result of an undeniably singular vision -- one which is ultimately frustratingly, fatally inert.

Erick Estrada

The narrative never quite passes its halfway mark... the movie would've benefited from more relatable characters and clarity overall. [Full review in Spanish]

Potter’s movie leans heavily on its two lead performances, both dramatically different but equally essential.

Cultural Conversation

Tony Black

The Roads Not Taken remains very Potterian; melancholic, middle-class, existential, a touch pretentious, but it does contain a weight that some of her pictures lack.

At its worst it can feel like a tolling, laboured and sometimes directionless trope through memory lane

The Roads Not Taken is frequently moving, and a fascinating creative idea, but without sufficient information about Leo's character to anchor the narrative, it feels too abstract.
