About
You may like this if you want a quiet, emotionally heavy road drama about grief and connection, in the vein of The Yellow Handkerchief or Akron; Not for you if you want an upbeat romance or clear feel-good payoff.
Pros: strong lead performances; unusual road-trip setup; emotional depth | Cons: bleak mood; slow start; unsatisfying ending for some
