Review
7.5
“This road trip adventure thrives on its charismatic cast, particularly Alan Arkin's nuanced portrayal of a weary driving instructor. While its episodic structure and lack of clear narrative direction might frustrate some, the film excels as a character study of misfits finding an unlikely family on the open road.”
Recommended For
Fans of character-driven road movies, films exploring found families, and enthusiasts of 1970s independent cinema will find this a worthwhile watch.
