Critical reception
A review in The Globe and Mail called The Right Way, "an old-fashioned, grim Canadian movie" that "despite its paramount flows... marks the birth of a promising young director."[2] The reviewer for the National Post wrote that despite the fact that the "message is powerful and the production values fantastic (the film was shot for $10,000 but looks like it cost at least 10 times as much), The Right Way suffers from thinly developed characters... and a railroad-straight plot.[3]
