The Road: A Story Of Life And Death review

Marc Isaac's latest documentary

A grandiose title for Marc Isaac's latest documentary, which explores the experiences of various immigrants living near the A5 in northwest London.

Among those sharing their feelings of loss and belonging are an Austrian great-grandmother, a divorced German air hostess, a Kashmiri hotel porter and an aspiring female singer fresh off the Holyhead ferry.

Affecting at times yet muted in its overall impact, this bears some similarities to Carol Morley’s Dreams Of A Life .

  • David Jonsson, Cooper Hoffman, Ben Wang, and Tut Nyuot in The Long Walk The Long Walk is one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time – and the saddest movie of 2025
  • Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Kelson in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple review: "The wildest and weirdest entry into the franchise yet"

It is certainly inferior though, not to mention almost 20 minutes shorter.
