    Thoughtful Roadtripping

    Two boys in quite different, but somehow equally dire situations meet in Morocco, from where they start a road trip with a stolen caravan through Spain into France, where William wants to find his brother and Gyllen wants to meet his father. Some lighthearted moments and overall somewhat optimistic messaging; amazing portrayal of friendship and nowadays sadly quite universal problems of loss, loneliness, isolation and the resulting despair.

    Sometimes comes within a whisker of being just a tad too clichée, but - imo - it always manages to avoid being too corny. Great acting and nice cinematography.

    A must see!

    Roads is a brutally honest and poetic road movie about male companionship and human compassion. The two lead actors are intense and authentic, and overall this is an elegantly paced and breathtaking piece of cinema.

    So pure the heart

    The friendship and encounter of two teens touch my heart. The acting is great and story is not the first class but it bring out something. It reminds me everyone must hv someone in your life that you ever missed and treasure the friendship. It touches my heart in this aspect.

    Gentle, not extreme movie, but very powerful. Recommend.

    First off, there's no major drama, no gunfights or murderin' going on, so don't expect it. This is one of those gentle but very powerful movies that will stay with you for a while. For that I give it a 10. When a movie makes you text your friends afterwards to tell them to see it, that's the best you can ask for now isn't it? This is part road movie, but more about a friendship from different worlds, and one of the most subtle movies about refugees I've seen. It doesn't get heavy handed or even political, just a little view into humanity, one most on imdb may never see.

    Stunning movie, more than worth the watch.

    Everything just clicks, the plot, the actors, the authentic scenery, everything. It felt like I was watching the actual events happening, which we know from the news... The movie was very well directed and produced. P.S. It's best to ignore bernardconneely's review. His review is not about the movie itself but about politics and his own views on it. His review does not make sense whatsoever. It's just an outburst of his hatred for refugees and immigrants, and has nothing to do with the movie itself.
