it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
