Very disappointing...
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
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.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
