Ep627: DRIVEWAYS - Movie review


Listen Later

Ian and David look at one of 2020's most acclaimed films, Driveways! Andrew Ahn's small-town drama stars Hong Chau as Kathy, a single mother who brings her eight-year-old son, Cody (Lucas Jaye), on a trip to clean out her dead sister's house. Cody meets the lonely, widowed war vet next door, played by Brian Dennehy (in one of his final performances), setting the stage for a friendship that's as unconventional as the film that encompasses it.In this spoilerific discussion, the guys break down the triumphs and shortcomings of Ahn's film, and its odd relationship to Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino. One of the hosts has seen it three times; the other begrudgingly admits it might be worth a second watch!Show Links:Watch the Driveways trailer.Follow David's film criticism at Keeping It Reel.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
