The Short History of the Long Road

This is if they knew how to do it: not such a great story but so wonderful told, such a great directoring and damn well plaied made it a soul touching movie!!!

No spoilers. Sabrina does exceptionally well playing a young lady trying to find her way in the world after her dad dies and she's without her mom. I was impressed with the whole movie.

All of us have wanderlust. Whether realized via a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive, a spontaneous road trip, an exotic resort vacation or a lifestyle, we as humans are innately driven to get up, get out and migrate about at various points in our lives.

The new drama "The Short History of the Long Road" is all about this need to move. Sabrina Carpenter is wonderful here as Nola, a young woman who has known nothing but crisscrossing America in a clunky vintage van with her vagabond father. Nola is traveling a road to discovery in her young life. We watch as she learns that home is where you make it, a residence of the soul, not limited to physical location nor trappings.

And I must give heartfelt props to Writer/Director Ani Simon-Kennedy for "daring" to show Christians who are actually fully dimensional, real people, not caricatures to be exploited and belittled. This shouldn't be bold. But amidst the mentally of the modern motion picture community, it is.

God Bless you for sharing your own voice, Ms. Simon-Kennedy. And for not letting it drown in the malicious and mystifying anti-faith messaging flooding your business.

This is a small story about a girl , her father and an old camping vehicle, biting the dust while riding the tracks of the wild frontiers of the mid and westernstates of u.s.a.. it has a little bit of the melvin ''straight''-story, meaning meeting strangers might be a fullfillment in life.

the story spans over many emotional chords, its death and love and friendship, also theft and pickpocketing to be able to survive when the straights becomes dire. the emotional bonds in this film are just beautiful, but does not reach asd far as it could.

the acting are merely flawless, even by danny trejo who has a sidekick small part in this flick. the story, and float of the plot is like a steady stream of a river, time flies usually fast at moments like this film. need to be mentioned are the spectacular shots of the scenic nature out there, fantastic, and invigorating..

the grumpy old man can only say its a recommend

Excellent, Sabrina Carpenter's performance is amazing, I liked the plot and the way the story is told. The locations are very beautiful, and the story is very entertaining and exciting.
