Schön.
"A fine and perhaps unique example of that trickiest of genres, the road movie, and the sort of film that really does deserve the cliched response: they don't make them like that any more, because they really don't."
—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian (UK)
"Touching but never sentimental."
—Derek Malcolm, London Evening Standard
