This is a beautiful film! The cast is genuine with gently well formed, complex characters. The soundtrack is outstanding!!! I could listen to it over and over. Christopher Walken is alternately brooding, charming, cheerful and loving in his best actor winning performance as the prodigal father. The cinematography of the skies and sites of their roadtrip is breathtaking. Most importantly the love amongst the cast members crescendoes to an ending that touched my heart and my tearducts!
