Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone with a soft spot for road trips and people who love relationship stories. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Fans of Away from Her or Brokeback Mountain should feel right at home. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

When Dot's granddaughter puts her into a nursing home, Stella stages a breakout, and takes Dot to Canada so they can get married. They pick up a hitchhiker along the way.
