Nice cinematography, good real musicians in starring roles. Some colorful characters along the innocuous highway where everyone pulls together in a time of national crisis and folk music heeds the call of the heroes' journey to rescue and heal our national and [inter]personal divides. It seemed weirdly ideological without ever really making a point. But, what was the story? Was it supposed to be a love story?--kind of yes, but not really. What happened? Very little. They were both trying to get to New York and, after meeting a few people along the way, they did. Consequently, it often felt that the movie was at a standstill, with little plot and character development to drive it forward, the script kind of paralleling the continually breaking down Chevy Van.

Underrated. Good story. Excellent acting.

Scenic movie. Great music. Relaxing. Great reflection of America in a time of disaster.

I've seen this compared to Once and I don't quite get it aside from its about folk musicians. That's about where the similarities end. I would not watch this movie again or recommend to anyone unless I don't like them and want to play a mean joke. Let's not bring the folk back.

folk music lovers: don't waste your time.

My gawd I loved this movie! I still haven't figured out what exactly connected me to this film yet, and there were some corny parts but all in all it's now one of my faves. The acting was great, the music was wonderful, the story was different and well written particularly considering the subject matter surrounding 9/11. It wasn't hokey, or in your face, but clever, sensitive, a little though-provoking and just lovely. I am now a fan of both of the lead actors and their music, and it was a beautiful way to be brought back to a genre of music I truly love. I look forward to seeing more work from this writer, director, and the two leads as well. I think they're both beautiful actors and have a great future ahead, even though they're amazing, successful musicians in their own right. And all of the other characters in the film were well cast. Well done! #BringBackTheFolk

Americana portrait of Americans who still dream.

Sung mainly by real-life folk musicians Joe Purdy and Amber Rubarth, the songs lend the film an emotional resonance that the forced dialogue often struggles to achieve.

Brilliant film that captures the beauty of human compassion, our vast landscapes, diversity, and connection through music. You'll have all the feels watching this one. Don't miss it!
