Now you’ve got a picture about this movie, now let’s discuss more.
The story is not complicated, but it is very impressive, and it really touched my deep heart.
Plot:
A couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover “home” on their own terms for the first time.
What critics said about the film Away We Go? Let’s take a look.
Boston Globe, Wesley Morris
“…journeys from serious to smug.”
Chicago Tribune, Matt Pais
“Good performances can’t get a too-jokey pregnancy movie over the hump.”
Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman
“…a gilded entry in the cinema du quirk.”
What others said about it? Keep looking:
Away We Go is offbeat enough to feel like a breakthrough indie but familiar and warm enough to serve as a thinking person’s romantic comedy.
See it for the performances — they are delights from the leads on down to the characters in the episodic vignettes. But the film’s vision of Gen-Y nesting is liable to leave you up a tree.
Away We Go comes with a pedigree that’s undeniable, but this time the filmmakers benefit from the experience, and the audience barely breaks even.
