Armond White National Review Wouter Dewit’s tactful piano score, Basile Belkhiri’s swift, precise pacing, and Magali Silvestre de Sacy’s lighting of the ecstatic vistas sustain a contemplative atmosphere, held together by Dujardin’s composure. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Imbert eloquently captures the human pulse of Tesson’s story via a thoughtful script (which he co-wrote with Diastème) and a beautifully introspective performance from Dujardin who is the centerpiece of every scene. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Blai Morell Fotogramas Maybe, and just maybe, for this trip we didn't need so many saddlebags. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) A predictable road movie, redemption drama with sparks of truth.

Thomas S Save yourself some time : juste read the book. Except for the landscapes, the movie adds literally nothing to it. It is just a succession of quotes with some pale attempts to introduce new characters. Where to start. Almost at the very beginning, Jean Dujardin is hiking in the hike with a white buttoned shirt and a gilet. What??? But okay. Then Dylan came into the picture. Their first scene together is just a huge cringe. Wait, you pass out in the wild, somebody wakes you up, and not even a thank you, just : "give me my sticks", and looking at your map? The rest was just a succession of shots following the book. Some quotes don't even make sense if you haven't read the original. For example after Pierre has his seizure, he says "It's a volcanic land". How ould the viewer guess what he's talking about??? Anyhow, I love Dujardin, but this one just wasn't for him.
