Linklater's deliberately paced road movie successfully evokes the feeling of taking a long, unexpected, unwanted journey - which may put many viewers off - but the trip is well worth taking. The three leads don't fit their characters with authenticity, but their humanity rings true in this understated reflection on grief, regret, friendship, patriotism, and service.
