Murtada Elfadl Variety The film’s humane writing is amplified by Ludovica Isidori’s glowing camerawork, while Ford’s filmmaking is a step up from their debut “Test Pattern.” The canvas is bigger, the rhythm slower yet more confident. Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Kate Erbland IndieWire A nifty new spin on the American road trip movie, one that functions both as an intimate exploration of identity and a rallying cry for a new kind of world. Rated: A- Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter With Dreams in Nightmares, Ford extends an exciting invitation: Get lost in my vision, open your imagination. The chemistry among the performers makes it an easy one to accept. Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall While the film is a bit meandering, it continually touches on resonant issues from knowing perspectives. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Big and bright and full of might as three very different, but nevertheless bonded mates go in search of a missing fourth wheel. It’s a real tonic in dark times. Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International With their accomplished handling of these creative elements, Ford has crafted a political film that shows rather than tells.
