Featured reviews
Interesting start and middle but the last third of the movie just dragged on the political overtones and whilst I don't mind that, it has been done many times before and this really has not a lot more to add. The movie is certainly not a ten out of ten - these shill reviewers seems to forget that this means it is the best movie you have ever seen - It is not!
I find it funny that planeten comes on and gives a review of bernard's review and calls him names whilst at the same time being a shill himself as are nearly all the reviews on here with the exception of Bernards although I would argue it is not a 1 star but just an average 5 star and it did show the futility of the African/Middle East migration to the West but this has already been done many times before and it kinda destroyed what could have been a better storyline if they had stayed with the RV and used it for some more interesting and creative adventures.

It is a very touching story with great subplots. The actors are both talented and really clever, since they put such nuanced performances out there. They made it feel real. I wish it did not end.
First off, there's no major drama, no gunfights or murderin' going on, so don't expect it. This is one of those gentle but very powerful movies that will stay with you for a while.
For that I give it a 10. When a movie makes you text your friends afterwards to tell them to see it, that's the best you can ask for now isn't it?
This is part road movie, but more about a friendship from different worlds, and one of the most subtle movies about refugees I've seen. It doesn't get heavy handed or even political, just a little view into humanity, one most on imdb may never see.
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Such a shame that some of the reviewers have no idea of real life for some and struggle to spell.
Two boys in quite different, but somehow equally dire situations meet in Morocco, from where they start a road trip with a stolen caravan through Spain into France, where William wants to find his brother and Gyllen wants to meet his father. Some lighthearted moments and overall somewhat optimistic messaging; amazing portrayal of friendship and nowadays sadly quite universal problems of loss, loneliness, isolation and the resulting despair.
Sometimes comes within a whisker of being just a tad too clichée, but - imo - it always manages to avoid being too corny. Great acting and nice cinematography.
