Compelling and moving script, acting and direction. I'm going to be looking for more from the Estevez family.
As others have said, it's the understated acting of Martin Sheen that is so exceptional here. The characters develop into a bond that only long term travelers can know, one that transcends choice or will. You can't always choose your companions or your life. As Emilio says, "You don't choose a life, dad. You live one."
There are no one-dimensional characters here, no good vs bad themes, no fairytale ending, thankfully no obligatory Hollywood romance which would have been forced and out of place.
As a nomad and hiker, I can attest that travel is healing. This movie will show you how.
score 10/10
