  ★★★½ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  How to assess a beautifully shot movie with excellent sound and plenty of enjoyably tense moments that you really like … but for the 2 big plot reveals in the final ~20 minutes of the film?

  Gasoline Rainbow 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 10 May 2024

  A beautifully and ambitiously shot film, starring 5 first-time teen actors, with all the dialogue improvised and many of the personalities they encounter on their road & non-road trip also first-time “actors” (according to a post-screening Q&A with the Ross Brothers). All of the exceptional and varied music of the film—except for the closing song—was curated/chosen by the teens (and a few of the personalities they encounter). This film feels real because, well, it is quite real. Well-done, Ross Brothers. 🎹🔥
