Like it or hate it (or both), you have to admire its skill, and the over the top virtuosity of Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland.

But it doesnt take long for even the slow witted heroine to notice that he takes perverse delight in her descriptions of sexual abuse.

Theres not much edification in store, and Bright cruises over some bumpy plot holes, but the teens perspective does put a black comic spotlight on wid ..
Time Out
2.5
A white trash riff on Little Red Riding Hood, the oddly titled Freeway is a road movie that hits a dead end.
5.0
One of the most stubbornly original and electrifying films not only of 1996, but of the 90s, period.
E Film Critic
4.5
A hip, corrosive and often hilarious entertainment, the movie strikes another blow for the American independent film.
San Francisco Chronicle
5.0
The movie seduces with its humor, all the while presenting a realized vision of a harsh, absurd world.
San Francisco Chronicle
4.0
Not for the faint hearted but should have been much bigger than it was.

As incisive as Freeways story is, the film wouldnt be nearly as successful without terrific turns by the two leads.
ReelViews
4.0
Its just the sort of thing Oliver Stone strove so hard to achieve in Natural Born Killers, and Bright pulls it off effortlessly.
Tv Guide
4.5
Writer and director Matthew Bright makes an incredible debut, slipping close to the Tarantino ripoff genre, but rising above it.

Freeway is not good satire, its not good comedy, and its not in the least bit entertaining.
Q Network
4.5
Alive with the luscious turn ons of sex and danger, Freeway is the most impressive debut film Ive seen all year.
Salon
4.5
This is not a film for everyone, in fact, its main appeal is in the gross fascination for the grotesque.
2.0
Its too drawn out, too talky and, at the most crucial moment, needlessly implausible, to sustain its humor and large dose of violence.

Freeway glints here and there with dark humor amounting to a knowing wink that undercuts the cautionary tale at its heart and the seriousness of its g ..

Vanessa didnt come up with the best story that takes money and a smart lawyer.

Matthew Brights Freeway is an intentionally offensive and hilarious update of Little Red Riding Hood with a tour de force performance from a pre fame ..
Bloody Disgusting
5.0
A wild, audacious drive in attraction that takes the high from highbrow and the low from lowdown and shakes them up.
Sacramento Bee
3.5
The greatness of Brights storytelling lies in his sympathy and admiration for his characters, especially his Red Riding Hood.
Hartford Courant

We are clobbered with excess as if we wouldnt understand a subtle fable.
Film Scouts

I didnt particularly want to like Freeway, but I couldnt help myself. Reese Witherspoon made me.
Enquirer

Freeway is far from a perfect film but well worth seeing, even for those who dont count themselves as fans of Witherspoon.
