Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter [Director Zuzana Kirchnerova's] transformed a unique and deeply personal story of adversity into a movie all of us can relate to. Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Catherine Bray Variety Rooted in Kirchnerová’s own life raising a child with Down syndrome and autism, the film has a fundamental tenderness running throughout, while tougher scenes earn their place at the table with their sense of authenticity and personal testimony. May 26, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation It is a film that seems better looking back than it is during the process, which one could argue is the experience of a road trip, as well. Rated: 7/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy Introduces socially sensitive and often overlooked subjects, yet Kirchnerová approaches the role and complexities of motherhood with a clear-eyed honesty that avoids stereotypes and shortcuts. Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Eulàlia Iglesias Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Caravan points to a director with sense and sensitivity in her portrayal of a wandering woman and an alternative experience of motherhood. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Caravan distances itself from stories that construct disability as an obstacle to overcome or motherhood as an unconditional sacrifice. Instead, it proposes a quest that doesn't seek to resolve, but rather to explore. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 May 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
