Solid memorable feel-gooder, should launch Zoë Kravitz into hyperspace

A very touching and well made movie, especially for outsiders and misfits!

Milquetoast and clichéd, very poorly directed.

The Road Within

&apos;THE ROAD WITHIN&apos;: Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) 

A remake of the 2010 German drama flick &apos;VINCENT WANTS TO SEA&apos;; about a teen with Tourette Syndrome, who befriends two other patients (one with OCD and one with anorexia) at the behavioral facility his dad enrolls him in. They steal their doctor&apos;s car and embark on a road trip together, to the coast. The film was written and directed by Gren Wells (in her directorial debut) and it stars Robert Sheehan, Dev Patel, Zoe Kravitz, Kyra Sedgwick and Robert Patrick. I enjoyed it immensely.

Vincent (Sheehan) is a teenager, that&apos;s suffered from Tourette&apos;s disorder; most of his life. His mother, who he was very close to, recently passed away; and his father (Patrick), who he&apos;s long resented, wants to enroll him in a special clinic. Once there, he&apos;s roomed with Alex (Patel); a young British man, with obsessive compulsive disorder. Alex is furious that he has to share his room with another person, and he immediately takes a disliking to Vincent. Vincent also meets Marie (Kravitz), at the facility, who he&apos;s immediately attracted to. Marie has a severe eating disorder, and pretty much won&apos;t eat anything. After Marie and Vincent get into trouble, with their doctor (Sedgwick), they decide to steal her car and head to the coast; so Vincent can spread his mother&apos;s ashes there. When Alex catches them in the act, they kidnap him and take him along with them.

The movie is equally funny and emotional. It&apos;s not overly heartbreaking though; as it has a lot of optimism, and a great deal of compassion (for it&apos;s characters). What I really love about the film, though, are the performances; Sheehan, Patel and Kravitz are all amazing in it (and Patrick and Sedgwick aren&apos;t bad either). I found the three lead characters to be all very likable, and relatable too, despite their flaws. It&apos;s a very touching and well made movie, especially for outsiders and misfits (like most great films are).
