"Winding Roads is a daringly realistic film with a heart, a mind, and a sense of real emotion. Even though the roads of life prove to be forever winding in different directions, this film hits straight to the point. It never falters from its realistic portrayal of the hard choices that can enter a woman's life. The solid and understated directing and talented performances make Winding Roads one of the best films of 2000, if not one of the best character driven films of all time."
-- Travis Wampler, Alice 95.5FM

"By the end of the film, the winding roads of the title hold promise for some of the characters, dead ends for others. This is the well-worn terrain of the tear-jerking 'chick flick,' but Melfi and Quinn's understated approach avoids overly maudlin moments in favor of finely observed real-life behavior that will ring true to most viewers."
-- Larry T. Collins, Springfield News-Leader

"If Winding Roads induces tears, at least they earn them... A tough little movie, worthy of the creators who never gave up on it."
-- Chris Potter, The Ann Arbor News (3 1/2 stars out of four)

"A movie worthy of your support."
-- Joe Williams, St. Louis Post Dispatch
