Roads

A rocky if endearing trek through contemporary Europe.

Actor turned director and writer Sebastian Schipper examines immigration with this vibrant road movie.

By playing it by the book and ticking the right topical boxes in a conventionally structured story, Schipper misses the mark completely.

Ham-fisted though the transition from buddy comedy to refugee exposé might be, Roads makes for a moving tribute to the power of brothers, be they lost, found, or created.
