Nov. 14
Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron
Cormac McCarthy's 2006 post-apocalyptic novel about a dying man who tries to lead his young son to safety was a critical darling that grabbed the attention of readers and, yes, even Oprah (not to mention us — The Road nabbed the No. 1 spot on EW's New Classics book list). So why should the film adaptation be any different? Though certainly bleak, the film has Oscar written all over it. And when has Mortensen ever let us down? — Kate Ward
