Satisfying and worthy Oscar winning road trip which is a near perfect execution of the formula. Not only highly entertaining, but also well judged on the education side of things. Mortensen and Ali perfectly capture two very different people who are thrown together and slowly gain an appreciation of each other's finer qualities while being personally transformed.The attention to period detail is wonderful on multiple layers. From street furniture to dialogue and appalling racism I felt completely immersed in the era. Warning, you may feel rather hungry as you watch large Italian-American families and Tony Lip devour their way through some gargantuan portions of 60s grub.
Verdict: Spot-on Sunday viewing
