Too much of everything
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
