Uma Estrada Para Recomeçar

Adopt A Highway is a feel-good story that brings out a lot of emotions at once, what we have here is a sweet story that's told on two facets, one is a story of a lost soul doing its best to survive and the other side of it is this heartwarming longing to a nice life once lived and never quite got enough of it. I was caught off guard several times by the performances as they were genuine and heartfelt and that added so much to the story, Ethan Hawke's rendition here was spot on, he delivers on so many levels, he gave his character life, and he infused it with minor details that make it just work. This film goes to remind us that it's never too late to start a new life, no matter how much you suffered or went through, there's always a way to start over and live again, Solid film.

This film tells the story of a man who was imprisoned for 21 years. Soon after his release from jail, he finds a baby in a dumpster.

It is a film that offers humanity and hope. The scene in the bank is very touching. The story is somewhat sad because the protagonist deserves better, and I really feel for him. It is a slow film, but it is a film to feel.

This is an easy one to write. This a cute little indie that no one would ever talk about if it it wasn't carried by e heartbreaking performance of Ethan Hawke. You just wish to have good things happen to him. He draws you in with his vulnerability, his sadness and his humility. After a very strong first half the movie falls a little flat until the end delivers a emotional climax but it won't matter because Hawke's performance will safely carry you through the movie.

This film is a compelling story of a man who has had a hard and unfair life. The world has given him one hard turn after another. I felt for the main character and part was performed brilliantly. This film is set a slower pace and that perfectly suits the story. You really root for the main character. I won't spoil it by saying anymore.

Basically about father and son but this isn't apparent from start. Made me cry a bit. It is slowly revolving, building the character of a lost soul, good hearted ex convict Russ. He is trying to find something to hold, to anchor his life to. It is also movie about injustice of the system and life. Probably not for everyone to watch but if you know feeling of being lost and lonesome, feeling of being disconnected from parents, work and hyper motivated world then...
