Hit the Road

...enhanced by inventive tonal shifts and complemented by incredibly fleshed-out characters, a uniformly brilliant cast and naturalistic dialogue that keeps it from lurching into the terrain of sterile realism.

Great child acting is rare: so is great adult acting, and so is great directing of children and adults. But they all come together in this lovely, beautifully composed debut feature drenched in a subtle but urgent political meaning.

By concealing some of the nitty-gritty, Panahi makes an even more fiercely political point throughout “Hit The Road.” Here, the details don’t matter as much as their heartbreaking consequences...

Equal doses of heartache and humour make this a potent, bittersweet take on the refugee experience, immediately announcing director Panah Panahi as a significant voice on the cinematic stage.

...miraculous tale of an Iranian family on the run.

...the excellent Hit the Road introduces an exciting filmmaker whose journey is just beginning.

...heartbreaking and unexpectedly hilarious...

...en feel good-film som bör tilltala de flesta och i synnerhet fans av road movies.
