Review of Hit the Road (2021) by Angel_Sigh — 08 Dec 2022
One of the most wonderful films I've seen in the last decade. Subtle as a snowflake landing on your nose, yet with an undercurrent of sadness and regret that can pierce you as suddenly and deeply as a needle, littered with moments of absurdity and graced with a handful of mesmerisingly strange and beautiful scenes that will linger in your memory for years after you've forgotten everything else.
It is gorgeous, and dances on the razor's edge between a number of genres without ever feeling constrained by any one in particular. Every single performance is brilliant; huge, unspoken feelings thrum under the surface of each line.
It is huge, and about everything, but simultaneously it's a small film about nothing in particular. It is funny all the way through, heartbreakingly sad all the way through. Ah...just go watch it.
