Kind of a mixed bag, I wanted to like this more. I love how non judgemental it is, they could’ve easily taken the route to criticize the system and make a point about how these people need financial support from the state (like Sorry to Bother You, for example). Instead, it presents a balanced perspective of both the struggles and charm of this lifestyle. Also, the characters are interesting, the acting is great and it’s shot extremely well. However, I find it quite baffling how nobody seems to want to point out the obvious flaw of this film: it lacks drama and .... well, a story. There is no progression to the characters or the events in this film. In other words, you could rearrange a lot of bits and it wouldn’t make a single difference. As a result, the pacing kinda drags, and I started to check out halfway through. This probably should’ve been a documentary instead. 5/10

Even the sh***y DVD screener I watched this on could not diminish how astoundingly beautiful and wholesome this film is

This movie reminded me of something Roger Ebert had said ages ago about another movie (My Own Private Idaho) because it describes it perfectly even if the two movies are not exactly alike but have a similar vibe. Ebert said: "The achievement of this film is that it wants to evoke that state of drifting need, and it does. There is no mechanical plot that has to grind to a Hollywood conclusion, and no contrived test for the heroes to pass." I don't think you could put it any better than that.

Finally got around to watching this gem! It’s such a beautiful depiction of this community of people, and you can tell that it’s made with so much care and empathy for the stories they had to tell. It’s less of a plot film and more a collection of slices of life which, put together, paint a beautiful picture that transcends the screen for an immersive and emotional viewing experience.

I didn’t get the hype and I really wanted to like it but I just didn’t. Felt like I wasted 2 hours of my life that I won’t get back. There’s a little story to a couple of characters but that’s it. They don’t delve any further so couldn’t get attached even if I wanted to. Wouldn’t recommend
