A family road trip movie in which we never quite know where the film is heading (and are often lied to about why), “Hit the Road” may be set amid the winding desert highways and gorgeous emerald valleys of northwestern Iran, but Panah Panahi’s miraculous debut is fueled by the growing suspicion that its characters have taken a major detour away from our mortal coil at some point along the way. “Where are we?” the gray-haired mom (Pantea Panahiha) asks into the camera upon waking up from a restless catnap inside the SUV in which so much of this film takes place. “We’re dead,” squeaks the youngest of her two sons (Rayan Sarlak) from the back seat, the six-year-old boy…

Hit the Road is an endearing little comedy, that is simultaneously sweet and built on very dramatic tension. It centres on a family on a journey, their bonds tested over the course of the film and their conversations revealing various truths. They are easy to care for and ultimately sympathetic when things turns tragic. A lot of comedy comes from a loud and annoying child, as the reactions he provokes are so funny. Hit the Road is yet another Iranian movie set in a car, but it is a very accessible effort due to the levity on the surface of the film. With beautiful countryside and layers of character depth underneath the comedy, Hit the Road is a delightful watch that is touching and moving.

Beautifully tragic.
Also funny.
It's weird since a road trip movie is pretty much a staple in cinema but this manages to make (what can be a tricky balancing act) look effortless. It's funny, charming, achingly sad and did I mention beautiful?
There's a wide shot scene at the emotional apex of the movie and its... Well, beautifully tragic. Also a moment where the dad and boy are chatting and they just drift away together. You have to see it to understand (so get on that right away) but it feels poignant and creative and a tad silly and I loved it. -
The moving image of never ending wheel is
guided by the scent of the road to kiss their
future that is about to begin.Hit the Road will hit your soul, at its finest,
it’s beautiful landscape of road trip with well-shot. -
