About

You may like this if you’re in the mood for a slow, reflective road journey about childhood and longing, with striking scenery; Not for you if you want fast pacing, clear answers, or lighter fare like Everybody's Fine.

Pros: striking landscapes; determined child leads; memorable road journey | Cons: very slow pace; vague, rambling story; upsetting scenes
