Roads

A road trip from Morocco to France with two young men as lost as disillusioned. Gyllen (Fionn Whitehead) seeks to join his father in the south west of France with the camper van of his father-in-law. He will quickly come across William (Stéphane Bak) who is desperately looking for his elder brother who would be in the vicinity of Calais, in the north of France. Together, they will travel more than 2000 km and face the dangers, one by one.

Not as accomplished as his previous movie Victoria (2015), Sebastian Schipper uses a documentary style to trace a desperate odyssey. After Dunkirk (2017) and The Children Act (2017), Fionn Whitehead is truly an actor of great ability.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Such a shame that some of the reviewers have no idea of real life for some and struggle to spell.

The friendship and encounter of two teens touch my heart. The acting is great and story is not the first class but it bring out something. It reminds me everyone must hv someone in your life that you ever missed and treasure the friendship. It touches my heart in this aspect.

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.

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.
