Viewing Notes

When this was released in 2007, nothing about it gave the desire to see it (despite all the critic fanfare). But having not seen it I grabbed it from the Quick Picks shelf knowing it was something I’d probably have to watch someday. Today was the today and I was deeply moved by the journey of Alexander Supertramp as he crisscrosses North America and encounters a variety of characters along the way (terrific supporting cast of actors). Made me wish I had done the same thing at his age. Shot beautifully it’s definitely one worth seeing.
