A pointer to London (2026) NYFF 2026


A ride share driver drives between Vienna and Salzburg. He talks to his rides, they talk to him. He ponders life and a friend in the hospital in Salzburg.

A kind of documentary and kind of a narrative where nothing much happens other than drives and discussions.

I'm not going to lie, I had to watch this film in pieces. I was given a screener for review and after a while I found myself stopping after each ride or two. Its not that the sections were bad, none of them are, more that the sections made me want to reflect on the pieces. Also I watched the film late and the low key pacing (it moves at the speed of life) had me drifting off.

I liked the film, but I know this film is not going to play well for those who want constant motion. Yes, the car is always moving, but this is simply conversation.
