A dull, unsatisfying experience -- as well as inconclusive.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
Well-acted, beautifully shot and broad and personal, The Motorcycle Diaries is nonetheless undermined in the end by a clunky search for meaning and depth that seems forced.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
Quietly exhilarating, soulful and sincerely romantic.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

It's about the gradual wakening into awareness, the graduation from carefree youth to responsible adulthood.
