A couple of thirty-somethings find themselves expecting and go on an odyssey through the United States and Canada in search of that elusive something to keep their life balanced and in focus when all around them they seem to be living it all perfectly. Sam Mendes directs this romantic comedy/road movie that will make a deep impression. ‘Like “Juno” or “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Away We Go” is a small film, the kind of gem that’s easy to crush with hype or overpraise. But, the fact is that few movies deal with feelings this profound with as much restraint as Mendes and his crew display here’ (TV Guide). ‘The road-trippers of Away We Go harbor no discernible ambitions whatsoever, which may make them true to Gen-Y life, but also renders them fatally uninteresting. For all the ground they cover geographically, dramatically their velocity remains zero. Mendes, too, seems to have trouble getting on board with the underachieving set’ (Village Voice).
