While the movie is basically about the main character and his break out of a dull life after a break down, that story gets a little lost in techno history and is drown in events and places. So the story telling itself feels bit more like a documentary, but a typical road movie may not really need typical dramatics and suspense curves. It is not easy to follow and feel with the main character and his change over time, what he learns during the trip and how his world collapses once again. And seems only one other character really gets it.
Nevertheless, it was worth watching.
The actors are just great, also set up, behavior and dialogues are stunning. Since the story does not need a real 90ies set, authentic music and clothes, they saved some funds on that, but that did not matter here - it is barely recognizable. I watched it twice because of funny and authentic speeches/dialogues, but it won't enter any of my Top 10s no matter what category. Have not read the book, but since the writer of the novel did the writing here too, I guess there is no need for the book after the movie.
