A Thousand Miles Behind

This film is wonderful. It's a stripped-back style of filmmaking, and takes its time really exploring the central character's isolation in dealing with his grief. So many films that deal with themes of loss do so in a very melodramatic way, so it's refreshing to find one that centers on the heartbreaking performance from Doornbos in its quiet moments more than its loud ones. Really hope we'll be seeing more of him in other films where he can be in the spotlight.

This movie takes us on a memorable "ride" through one man's tragic grief story. I found myself drawn into his pain; no easy task for most men to admit, or to deal with. No easy answers or clichés-just a subtle, honest picture of Preston's real-life emotion, and unexpected compassion from a stranger. The 1,000 miles will take you through scenery that is both stark and beautiful. This movie is not just for bikers.

Beautiful, heartfelt movie about loss and healing. When his wife and daughter are killed by a drunk driver, Preston completely shuts down. Then, when he discovers someone has left a motorcycle at his back door, he goes on a road trip. Along the way, he mets a fellow camper who helps him handle his grief and helps him along his path to healing. Beautiful scenery and a soulful soundtrack help make this a memorable and touching experience. Highly recommended.

This film is deeply moving and stays with you long after it's over. I admit, it's not what I expected, but I didn't do any research on it before watching it. The plot deals with one man's painful journey through grief, and it quickly drew me into the rawness and emotion of the struggle, sometimes uncomfortably so. It's not light, it's not a romance, and it's not an action movie, but it is brilliantly acted and beautifully shot. More importantly, it left me with a much better understanding of grief and grieving people. All that said, the movie isn't depressing. There's a sense of hope that pervades the film, growing brighter throughout. I REALLY liked this movie!

I had heard a bit about this movie from some festivals, but had been waiting for it to drop on streaming. It is rare for a movie covering the difficult topic of loss and grief to capture real emotions, but this one certainly did. Beautifully shot, well-acted, amazing edit job - It starts out pretty quiet, which set the stage for a realistic journey back to life. I thought it was amazing. And I hope whoever green lit this powerful little flick takes a chance on more like this one. Ignore the negative reviews. This isn't meant to be Endgame! Trust me. If you like deep movies, this one will deliver for you!
