It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
