Director David M. Rosenthal constructs a road movie that relies on the quiet chemistry between its leads rather than dramatic twists. It explores the fragile construction of a family from the most unlikely of circumstances, built on shared chords and lonely highways.

What lingers after the final scene is a bittersweet melody about found connection and the songs we use to bridge our distances. It’s a modest, character-driven piece that finds its heart in subtle performances. — MovieFinder Editorial
