Away We Go
(2009)
Well this is certainly the end of my interest in Maggie Gyllenhaal. But that's hardly much of a review. There's of lot of great ideas explored here by director Sam Mendes - at its simplest this is a mid-30s couple trying to find their place, both literally and figuratively. What's great is that the attempt is an honest and bittersweet look at becoming an adult and the concept of starting a family. Where it lacks is that the the two leads are so emotionally numb that the result is both uninteresting and soulless.
