Roads

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Such a shame that some of the reviewers have no idea of real life for some and struggle to spell.

A road trip from Morocco to France with two young men as lost as disillusioned. Gyllen (Fionn Whitehead) seeks to join his father in the south west of France with the camper van of his father-in-law. He will quickly come across William (Stéphane Bak) who is desperately looking for his elder brother who would be in the vicinity of Calais, in the north of France. Together, they will travel more than 2000 km and face the dangers, one by one.

Not as accomplished as his previous movie Victoria (2015), Sebastian Schipper uses a documentary style to trace a desperate odyssey. After Dunkirk (2017) and The Children Act (2017), Fionn Whitehead is truly an actor of great ability.

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.

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.
