Weeknight Watchearly rating

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at people who love a good growing-up story and people who like the journey more than the destination. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Shelve it next to Grandma or The Last Detail. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

To find his therapy dog, a 17-year-old escapes from juvie and embarks on a journey of reconnection with his brother and grandmother through Cantabria.
