Road movie with charm and attitude.
With a belly full of tucker I slump into the chair, awaiting some mystical forces to come and sweep me away. Chris Eyre's first impressive feature almost did with its charm and humour. Set in the Salmon Indian Reservation where Victor, a hard nose young Indian, journeys to collect his dead father who disappeared when he was a child. Joseph goes along because only he can finance the journey. So the two hit the road for some soul searching and cleansing. This is a road movie with heart as the quirky Victor pesters Joseph with repetitive stories and other irritating nuances. It has charm and two strong central characters who carry the film to its final ending of wisdom. The music soundtrack is a plus.score 9/10
