Critic Reviews

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    Narratively, what we have here is a basic road movie, a genre that too often doubles as an excuse to hide a flawed script -- merely an episodic series of loose vignettes.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    Bouajila's winning performance, and the film's timely tolerance, make Felix a movie road trip you'll want to take.
