12/27/2015 Quietly absorbing road film is ultimately heartbreaking. See more 05/01/2014 Father son issues. Not bad See more 01/02/2014 A beautiful first film dealing with the respect of traditions and a pilgrimage to Mecca that will teach the young hero much more than he actually expected. Good film. See more 10/09/2013 While on a road trip to Mecca, the father and son grow to love each other though they can't understand or like each other... See more 07/12/2013 Le Grand Voyage is an excellent example of a good religious film that captures values that are important to understanding traditionally exuberant features among nations and its peoples. Though it tends to drone through its third act and sometimes doesn't know how to place its dialogue to fill in for pacing problems, the film should still provide a narrow but somewhat open-ended opportunity for families to understand. See more 04/27/2013 Intriguing story that follows a traditionalist Muslim father who requires his modern French son to drive him across Europe to Mecca on pilgrimage. Great, understated frustrations throughout as they have to overcome interesting cross-cultural obstacles, and it is relaxing to see a variety of Muslims in normal, generous, devoted situations instead of serving as the enemy-of-the moment. No one is portrayed in romantic fashion, and the characters are humanly flawed and sympathetic. Wonderful to enter another world free of tiresome Americanisms. French and Arabic with English subtitles. See more Read all reviews
