Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi makes it easy to stay put. The film passes at a glide.

I really appreciated this film. It's very slow moving and you have to stick with it.

The pieces Hamaguchi assembles don’t seem to add up, and yet when it’s over you may feel that the whole is much, much larger than the sum of the parts, in ways beyond the power to articulate.

Drive My Car marks out that space for thought, for pondering, and in doing so crowns the ascension of one of the 21st century’s finest filmmakers to date.
