HitTheRoad is funny, tragic, moving, and a near-perfect debut movie.
Their affectionate banter and a few impromptu sing-alongs to old musical numbers give the impression that we’re riding shotgun on a relaxing, family-bonding getaway. A contraband cellphone, quickly confiscated by Mom and buried at the foot of some mountains by the side of a highway, suggests something else is behind this trip. Ditto a sense that someone may be following them. Not far along into the drive, the older brother erupts over his parents “trying to have a last-gasp party.
There’s more than one voyage happening with these domestic road warriors, in other words, and part of the joy ofis submitting semi-blindly to wherever it takes you. The debut film by Panaha Panahi — son of legendary Iranian director/political martyr Jafar Panahi, a man so determined to make movies despite a government ban— displays an almost perverse sense of pride in doling information in drips, snippets, superficially casual asides that turn out to be deep with meaning.
Yet once you’ve seen this deft blend of genres and tones, all of the inspired laughter and the lumping of throats, you see exactly howfits all of its elements together with remarkable seamlessness.
