Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Jayne Nelson

Ewan McGregor stars alongside his real-life daughter, Clara McGregor, in this colourful road-trip movie. He plays an unnamed father driving his (also unnamed) daughter across the New Mexico desert to find a safe place for her to recover after her near-fatal overdose. All she wants is to drink and get high, the consequences of her recent actions failing to register. All he wants is to get her clean, ensuring she doesn't repeat the same mistakes he made in her childhood. There are misunderstandings and deceits, tears and arguments, flashbacks and moments of bonding, all of which are fairly predictable. With different leads this journey could have dragged, but both Ewan and Clara are electrifying, their close relationship off-screen seeping into their hugely convincing performances. Despite the familiar story, which was co-written by Clara, there are still occasional surprises, most notably a warning to be very careful if you ever have to take a toilet break in the desert.
