Don't listen to the negative reviews
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
