What the critics say
The cast and cinematography earn praise, but critics agree the father-daughter road-trip premise never lands emotionally, with slow, dated narration, forced cameos and songs dragging the second half.

Derived by Filmi
30
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
