Where the Wind Comes From

While I may be from Germany and don't have their same family situations, I could relate to Alyssa a lot. Dreaming of a better world, using imagination to get through reality, being spontanous, and trying to do the best in life, which however needs to also be lots of fun. She probably impersonated Gen Z quite well. The ending surprised me, as it is not the typical comedy roadtrip movie ending, reminding that one of the genres is also drama. It's not bad. Just … very realistic and bittersweet. Although hopeful, too. I wouldn't mind a sequel. Watched the original version with german subtitles in the theatre. Really loved the soundtrack too, introduced me to some dope arabian songs! -30.04.26
