Le plus beau des chemins

« But trust me when I tell you, the film is much better than the trailers and TV spots that you've been hammered with. »

« The settings and compositions are picture-postcard, the score syrupy, the bull-riding coverage not entirely convincing, the sentiments cliched and reassuring. But, boy oh boy, the ending! In Sparks' world, when happiness rains, it pours. »

« If “The Longest Ride” is partly Sparks' tone-deaf valentine to God's chosen people, it's also a jeremiad of sorts against the big-city elites (...) whom he feels wield too much cultural influence in our country. »

« Cela dit, l'ensemble irrite moins que les précédentes adaptations. D'abord parce que celle-ci ne recourt pas aux habituelles ficelles mélodramatiques. »

« (...) ça sent le mélo délirant à plein nez. (...) À éviter. »
