Sam Mendes is one of the most talented filmmakers in Cinema today. And in 'Away We Go', he proves his status once again. This Travelling fare shows a charming side of Mendes.
'Away We Go' is about two partners, who are in their early thirties and struggling to meet daily needs. They are about to have a baby. Due to some circumstances, then decide to shift from place to place, which will eventually let them find out which is the right place for them and their about-to-be-born child.
'Away We Go' works because of Mendes's Direction, the Performances and it's innovative Screenplay. The lead characters are wonderfully penned, and the journey they embark on, the people they meet, their realizations, come out with complete honesty. Writers Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida deserve a pat for their work. Mendes is in top form, as mentioned before.
Performance-Wise: John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are the life of the show. They bring in so much of honesty, charm and genuineness in their parts. Catherine O'Hara and Jeff Daniels are effective. Maggie Gyllenhaal is absolutely fantastic. Others are perfect in their parts.
On the whole, This ain't no masterpiece, but without a shed of doubt, a charming and down-to-earth story of two partners expecting their first child. Thumbs Up!
