    Stunning movie, more than worth the watch.

    Everything just clicks, the plot, the actors, the authentic scenery, everything. It felt like I was watching the actual events happening, which we know from the news... The movie was very well directed and produced. P.S. It's best to ignore bernardconneely's review. His review is not about the movie itself but about politics and his own views on it. His review does not make sense whatsoever. It's just an outburst of his hatred for refugees and immigrants, and has nothing to do with the movie itself.

    So pure the heart

    The friendship and encounter of two teens touch my heart. The acting is great and story is not the first class but it bring out something. It reminds me everyone must hv someone in your life that you ever missed and treasure the friendship. It touches my heart in this aspect.

    Average road movie

    Interesting start and middle but the last third of the movie just dragged on the political overtones and whilst I don't mind that, it has been done many times before and this really has not a lot more to add. The movie is certainly not a ten out of ten - these shill reviewers seems to forget that this means it is the best movie you have ever seen - It is not!

    I find it funny that planeten comes on and gives a review of bernard's review and calls him names whilst at the same time being a shill himself as are nearly all the reviews on here with the exception of Bernards although I would argue it is not a 1 star but just an average 5 star and it did show the futility of the African/Middle East migration to the West but this has already been done many times before and it kinda destroyed what could have been a better storyline if they had stayed with the RV and used it for some more interesting and creative adventures.

    Thoughtful Roadtripping

    Two boys in quite different, but somehow equally dire situations meet in Morocco, from where they start a road trip with a stolen caravan through Spain into France, where William wants to find his brother and Gyllen wants to meet his father. Some lighthearted moments and overall somewhat optimistic messaging; amazing portrayal of friendship and nowadays sadly quite universal problems of loss, loneliness, isolation and the resulting despair.

    Sometimes comes within a whisker of being just a tad too clichée, but - imo - it always manages to avoid being too corny. Great acting and nice cinematography.
    Dev1999

    Beautifully honest.

    Heartfelt, always believable, surprising, and completely well-made. There's at least two scenes that are some of the best of the year, easily. It also has very good pacing and a story that makes it more than just worthwhile. Fionn Whitehead and Stéphane Bak are wonderful. Roads is a film you have to see when you get the chance.
