From my favorite movies..
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
