While the central story of the two estranged sisters and their well-meaning father is treated adequately (though with precious few surprises), the real charm of the film lies in the secondary stories. _J'irai où tu iras_ (_I'll go where you go_) is a humanist road trip where the story is not the beginning or the end but the people you meet along the way. Director Géraldine Nakache does a wonderful job of bringing out the people inside the characters, while Leïla Bekhti turns in yet another stellar performance. One of France's best actresses, whenever she cries, I cry with her.
