Not my favourite picture, but I love that it lets me make up my own mind about how to feel about it.

Candid, leisurely paced road movie with a mystical quality.

It's not over emotive or soapy; it tells its story visually with an arty touch only when called for.

It overstays its welcome somewhat but it is a vivid depiction of people in quiet desperation and the camaraderie, kinship and viciousness such people must encounter on their journey to a better mediocrity.

You almost don't buy that there's really much threat or conflict so when there finally is, I feel it as if I was right there.
