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.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
