An uneven road trip with not so compelling characters and an overly sentimental plot. Especially in the first half. Fortunately, it's getting better in the second half when the film finally gets a more clear point of view. Should use some trimming to make it tighter and lose some of its unnecessary narrative fat.

Reflective film about romance and friendship you can easily engaged.

Baz Poonpiriya brought interesting perspective towards Thai people living in New York with their own reality check. Tor & Ice shared meaningful journey over long choices and slow buildup.

Even the movie is not perfect 100% But i feel the improve of thai movie and it's an gdh movie!!!! Mr. Bas Nathawut still show us a cool movie that he directed since bad genius.

One for the Road is full of nostalgia as multiple genres come together including romance, buddy film, as well as sex-positive melodrama. The film had a wonderful soundtrack with some Cat Stevens music along with several mainstream hits, a strong production design, and a lovely mise-en-scene with exquisite cinematography and a touch of colorization. One For the Road follows a young Thai man, who is dying from cancer and has decided to make his final amends by delivering a parting gift to those closest to him on the earthly plane.

One For The Road is very visual, very visceral, and one I was sad to see it end after 136 minutes. But end it did and as the credits began to roll, there it was - a title revealing "Produced by Wong Kar Wai" - "... a filmmaker who specializes in making the evanescent tangible, in capturing fleeting emotions in a style that is always poetic, often ravishing and, despite his films' surface-level dreaminess, unerringly precise." I'm a huge fan of Mr. Wong's work so all I could do in that moment was sit and smile. What a wonderful gift. (Wong and Director Baz Poonpiriya worked together on One For The Road for three years.)

Director Baz Poonpiriya, a strong storyteller who has come into his own, had previously helmed Bad Genius the 2017 Thai box-office smashing and the record-breaking winner of twelve categories at the 27th Suphannahong National Film Awards (the Thai Oscars), before embarking on One For The Road with Wong. If you're a fan of Wong, this is a film you don't want to miss. And, if you're a fan of Thai film (Apichatpong Weerasethakul's 2010 Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives turned me on to Thai film), it's a must-see! Lastly, if you simply enjoy exquisitely told films, I highly recommend you see Baz Poonpiriya's One For The Road!

The best of GDH film. Trailers and watching the whole movie are really different. The 2 lead actors performed excellently. This movie has a brilliant way of telling stories. And the story really touched me. I love this movie so much. I rated 10/10 without a doubt.

It's been a while since I last watched a movie that has just the perfect mixture of everything. Storytelling is brilliant that it blends some key important feelings with each people you cared for. Visual side is great all the way from roadtrip starts until the end. I really wanted to have such a great trip like what was in the movie.

Cinema at it's best. You've been on a journey, got deep into superbly played characters, your emotions are all stirred up, beautiful photography, carefully selected soundtracks. Cheers to the director and cast!

I do acknowledge the quality and uniqueness of this movie that distinct from most Thai's movie. The actors are top class as well as the settings and cinematography that are top notch.

However, the movie is inconceivable slow and the build up builds to nowhere. The characters are boring similarly to the storyline.

There is an attempt to complicate the story, but to no avail. Instead, it dragged the movie to the point that it is an insult for the audience to sit through this time consuming cliché of a movie.

Disappointed, this makes Nattawut equivalent to MC Hammer...a one hit wonder with 'Bad Genius'.

Anyhow, congratulations on the award, but it is not my cup of tea.

The movie might not be for everyone, but it hit me real hard. The storytelling, soundtrack, shot selection, color grading, casting are totally work for me.

At first, the boss seems like a nasty guy. But as the narrative progresses, it becomes clear that he is genuinely a devoted friend, particularly to Aood. It has some unnecessary narrative, but the storytelling is still great. The dramatic journey of Aood and Boss has me feeling deeply moved. It's certainly not all that smooth; there are definitely some bumps along the way. Every person that they cared about is depicted in the movie with a variety of situations and feelings. Although it's not as sad as I thought it would be, this movie is nonetheless very touching and heartwarming. Besides, I enjoy the soundtracks and color grading!

This movie is beautifully done, with a lot of hidden meanings throughout the whole movie, some thai critics commented it is overrun and long, but actually the movie is about two persons two stories like a music cassette with two sides.

It is not the typical Thai movie, every aspect is upto international artistic flim standard. Cinematography is superb. Music and editing are fantastic. The main lead, Tor, is such a great actor,. He has so much potential to be an international star. Hope more people can appreciate this great movie.

It is a very touching and meaningful movie, the plots have twists and turns, though it is two hours long, it is not boring at all.

Not always a fan of Thai movies due to bad cinematic or bad script. But after watching this movie, it has become one of my fav, not just for Thai movie! Watch it and you won't regret. The movie surprises me so much after watching I have to come to IMDB to see who is the director and his previous works. This movie deserves to be watched all over the world. It makes you think about life and death in a different way. The character buildings and stories are very well written and directed. The director has definitely understand how to use throwback scenes in between. SUPER IMPRESSIVE. Just go watch it!!!

As a Hong Kong Film Critic myself, this is one of the most anticipated Thai film for years as I noticed there are two up and coming film directors from Thailand shining the world. Of course, Mr. Wong Kar-Wai saw the same thing and took one step farther to produce Thai film. It happened once again after Mr. Peter Chan produced "Sam gang (2002)", while I started my career as film critic in which I didn't understand at that time. 20+ years later, Korean and Thai film are already bypassed HK movie and take over Asian market, so what's happen? I finally understood the situation of HK Movie Industry when I got in. Anyway, Mr. Wong Kar-Wai shown the world Thai ver. Of "See You Tomorrow (2016)", also shown the world Hong Kong Film Producer can push to next level.
