The Dream Catcher

There really is no equal, in the cinema of other countries, to the American Road movie. It isn't only that the USA is vast in size but ample in it's freedom. You wouldn't get far hitchhiking across any other similarly large nation. There is something breathtaking in the very idea of it. In this case we have a pair of mismatched misfits each seeking something that may or may not exist, something they need to make their lives bearable. They have no money so they have to get by on their wits. They grow to depend on each other and on the kindness or gullability of their countrymen. The prospects and possibilities are endless as the landscape. There is hope and pain. This is a beautifully crafted movie and the acting is flawless. It is a haunting movie that will stay with you long after the closing credits.
