Reviews

" [ ... A ] watch pleasure in how he [ Murray ] with his impeccable timing formed a character who is funny and a bit tragic that accrues to a past that has nothing from the result of the presence of [ ... ] "

" A Brittle, however entertaining film whose most impressive protagonist bursts into his role, and comes up with the message that only life in the here and now makes sense. "

" The most satisfactory to Jarmusch's film is that he consistently undermines the clichés of the road movie genre and the journey of his hero does not show as a development movement of the lonely, depressed loner to an open, caring people, but the ( already very half-hearted ) efforts of his protagonists running deliberately into the void. "
