That final shot might be one of my favorites…
The Short History Of The Long Road, released in 2019, is a campy adventure with my queen Sabrina Carpenter as the protagonist. It’s very fun and emotional at some points because of Sabrina’s incredible acting. It’s shocking that the same year she was in one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, Tall Girl. She deserves more roles like this and I am excited to see here in the new Alice In Wonderland movie coming out.
It’s a very solid story with highlights like Danny Trejo. I mainly watched this for the short runtime but I got way more out of this than I expected. Underrated and I really recommend.

I knew the plate means Incredible Hulk
I hoped I would like it as much as Begin Again, but it isn’t bad, I just thought it wouldn’t be a sad road movie, but it kinda is
It has some vibe tho

‘I fixed your Jalopy!’
Watched most of this in geography and I must say it was much more interesting than Snowdonia, but Sabrina please use a hairbrush next time 💔

A very pleasant surprise! Liked this a lot more than I thought I would (mainly because I saw a lot of myself in Nola and also I’ve been dying to go a roadtrip). I loved how sparse and indie it felt.
