I enjoyed it, it was lovely movie. Not very high on the list of "believable" movies, but if you're just looking for a feel good movie where you don't have to think too much about how things work in real life, then this is a good choice. Olivia Colman was of course, amazing. And the young lad who played Mully, Charlie Reid, did a great job. The movie touched on some serious topics, but was still fairly light hearted.

The story is fanciful so isn't really believable. But Colman and Reid are a great pairing and they do much to draw us into the plight of their troubled characters.

This desperately wants to be a “feel-good, unlikely duo, heartwarming road trip” but it doesn’t land for me. Olivia Colman is great, of course, because Olivia Colman could carry a movie where she’s just assembling IKEA furniture in silence, but here she’s working overtime trying to inject nuance into a script that is basically “drunk mum + precocious kid = life lessons!!!” on a post-it note. It’s not the worst movie ever, but it is one of those films where you spend the entire runtime thinking about what you’d rather be watching instead

When a director needs to make a movie, one of the most classic plot device is to take a couple of characters, put them in a car, spread a couple of encounters along the way, and the film is done. Then, not to complain if nobody would see it.

“It’s not a crime if no one presses charges.” This was such a pleasant film that was self-aware of its small scope. Sometimes watching people drive around for two hours talking about why they are there and what they intend to do can be the best plan for a Sunday evening.
