Entertainment Reviews:
Cummings has some ideas about the state and reflexes of American policing on his mind. Through a combination of caricature and psychological portrait, subtle touches and howls of impotent, uniformed rage, his film offers a memorable depiction of a man ill-equipped to deal with or direct his feelings...
A.V. Club
4.5 stars out of 5 -- [A] raw nerve of a movie, uncomfortable and tender and beautifully empathetic to its a-hole protagonist. And it’s the product of one writer-director-actor who’s been making short films on the microindie fringes for close to a decade and with this, his second feature, makes you feel like you’ve stumbled across a singular voice.
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- THUNDER ROAD evokes a sense of pathos that approaches profundity. There’s real beauty in its evocation of all-too-human awkwardness, embodied in Cummings’s grimaced expression that seems to waver between a smile and a sob...
The Guardian
3 stars out of 4 -- Cummings is an Austin filmmaker, and the best parts of THUNDER ROAD have that low-key, character-driven energy that defined the early films of one of the Kings of Austin, Richard Linklater.
RogerEbert.com
Driven by Cummings' transfixingly vulnerable performance, the movie not only justifies returning to the source: Shockingly, it does so without even using the device that seemed key to the short's success.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4.5/5 --
It is funny. It's also a raw nerve of a movie, uncomfortable and tender and beautifully empathetic to its a-hole protagonist.

Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- There is a story here, just about; it’s chiefly interested in Arnaud’s wavering mental state, Cummings all but providing a one-man show.
Empire
[I]n THUNDER ROAD, Jim Cummings, who also wrote and directed the film, doesn’t cover anything up. He exposes the character he’s playing like an X-ray.
