Reviews

Paths has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the film for its raw emotional portrayal of a long-term relationship, others found it slow-paced and overly introspective. Variety described it as 'a quiet, contemplative drama that delves deep into the complexities of human emotions and relationships.' On the other hand, The Hollywood Reporter criticized the movie for its lack of narrative drive, stating that 'Paths meanders without a clear destination.' Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a rating of 6.5/10, with critics highlighting its exceptional performances and intimate storytelling. IMDb's score of 6.0/10 reflects the polarizing nature of the film, with some viewers appreciating its depth while others found it lacking in substance.
