Our take
A spluttering caravan becomes the perfect metaphorical vehicle for examining the tensions within an extended family in Pablo Trapero’s third feature. Panoramic in its examination of intergenerational relationships, this vivacious road movie is Argentine cinema’s answer to Little Miss Sunshine.
