synopsis
When young Olive qualifies for the finals of a children’s beauty pageant, her delightfully dysfunctional family sets off on a chaotic cross-country journey. Directed by filmmaking duo Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, this hilarious and deeply moving road movie is powered by an exceptional ensemble cast.
Un road movie frénétique à l’irrésistible humanité, dont personne, pas même le spectateur, ne sort indemne. Et le happy end est au diapason… Une réussite majeure, tant au niveau de la finesse d’écriture, de l’observation au scalpel que de l’interprétation d’ensemble.
1001 film, Éd. Omnibus
Tucked in between all the hurt and the jokes, the character development and the across-the-board terrific performances is a surprisingly sharp look at contemporary America.
