The characters are often kept in the lower half of the frame as if Guellaty and DP Frida Marzouk are leaving space for their dreams.

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

It's a standard road film in structure, but writer-director Amel Guellaty keeps the energy fizzing throughout, and Bellagha is a whirlwind in the lead – hilarious, heartsore, always making the wrong decision for the right reasons.

Rated: 3/4

the film hits the kind of road trip tropes—lack of money, car trouble, side trips, fights—that you expect from the genre. Yet, like the best of these films, Guellaty’s script finds the internal wisdom that the road can help unlock in ourselves.

Hammer to Nail

The added value of the gorgeous images populating the background make the visual appeal of the movie as strong as its narrative.
