	Author	Review
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Instant classic (...) A quiet epic which is both ideal for the current turbulent epoch and timeless, grittily specific in its details but universal in its themes"	POS
United States	James Lattimer Slant	"A carefree life on the move is steadily and exquisitely overtaken by melancholy (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"[It] is as unfulfilling as the life on the road it chronicles (...) The film is far less than the sum of its possibilities."	NEG
United States	Bradley Warren The Playlist	"[An] impactful, socially conscious film (...) I found myself pinned to my seat"	POS
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"[A] tenderly crafted story (...) The stories may be fiction, but the veracity and compassion is undeniable."	POS
United States	Matt Prigge Village Voice	"This is a beautiful bummer"	NEU
