Brothers Grimm: 90’s cult white trash edition. Scuzzfest big bad wolf pedo serial killer time capsule of my favorite Reese Witherspoon performance. Lewd, crude, and one hell of a mood, Freeway boasts a great cast and is one of those movies I discovered by accident in the…
Ian WestJan 25, 2019I hadn’t seen this since the VHS glory days, but damn it still holds up! This is a superb modern white trash take on Little Red Riding Hood with tons of violence and dark subject matter. The acting all around is pretty brilliant, but Reese Witherspoon gives one of the…

I… no… the world needs more white trash, Reese Witherspoon! One of those films that seems like a LB staple by this point, I just keep hearing and reading about it on the site. Like, even not so long time ago for some reason, a lot of people started to post about it, so it…

- Antonio Montana is "meh" onFreeway
Was good but it got stupid in the middle
Morgan is "meh" onFreewayit’s a good movie ig, like i appreciate the fact that it’s highlighting how young women get abused in society, it’s just very upsetting which i know is the point and it’s true to real life but i didn’t enjoy watching it, there were good moments and it’s well acted though
nevan likedFreewaydefinitely an interesting and strange “adaptation” of sorts, but one that is always entertaining and uniquely disturbing. reese witherspoon effortlessly carries the film alongside decent writing and strong cinematography. a solid effort

Freeway is roadkill. The directorial debut of screenwriter Matthew Bright (Gun Crazy) is a sophomoric and morally repellent mix of fractured fairy tale, juvenile social satire, bloody mayhem and overstated B-movie melodrama.
Joe Leydon

A white-trash riff on Little Red Riding Hood, the oddly titled Freeway is a road movie that hits a dead end.
