    Above the Clouds headed over the rainbow

    Saw the premiere of this film at Raindance Film Festival. Wonderful. Here's what I wrote then about it on Raindance Festival Day 5: Went raving mad about this sparkly, distinctly British "American road trip" movie. Fell in love with ingénue actress Naomi Morris. Gushed about this cinema treat being destined for wide release on the film's FB page. I promise: I had not been drinking. This movie is an elixir. Prepare to become intoxicated.

    A strange duo head up to Scotland

    A very soft and heartwarming story featuring a 18 old girl and a very particular responsabile driver from the beaches of the south of England to the north of the Scotland Highlands.

    The movie is very easy to watch and the chemistry between the two characters is almost perfect as are strange and hilarious the situation in which the fall into during the trip.

    If you are looking for a clean and original British commedy I definitely suggest you to have a look.

    Furthermore, if like me you have been in the north of Scotland you will fell like being back there with some stunning landscapes.

    One of the best commedies I've seen recently and a 7.5/10.

    Charming surprise

    Stumbled on this film and decided to watch it because I'm from Kent and knew the setting. I was surprised how charming and witty this road trip movie is. It's a feel-good film the whole family can watch.

    Teenager (Charlie) is completely believable (it's always good when you forget the character is an actress!). Her companion Oz is not so believable but has some great lines and an intriguing backstory.

    The gorgeous scenery and jaunty soundtrack jolly the film along. Throw in a few plot twists and this is well worth a watch. Recommended.

    A Hidden Gem

    I really enjoyed this hidden Gem. So I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family. I love a good road trip film and it's certainly one the whole family can enjoy. Thought the two leads Charlie and Oz worked really well together, great chemistry, lots of 'laugh out loud' moments and enjoyed their banter immensely. Lovely cinematography too.

    Road Trip With Literary Repartee

    Charming, witty road trip movie about family, friendship, and finding oneself. It begins with an unexpected discovery followed by an unexpected road trip with literary references. A teenager (Charlie) needs to find answers. Her passenger, Oz - not that one - but he could be, whom she wishes was 'less Dickensian in his appearance. He makes decisions by 'asking the Queen': He tosses a coin! And somehow this helps them reach their destination. Each one finds a home. The artist references and the description of 'creativity' are truly profound remarks. Sometimes you have to wait a long time to be surprised.
