Critic Reviews:
- " In times when there is a particular insistence on the explosiveness of
emotions, when lukewarmness is criticized as a lack of affective (or political)
commitment, Drive my Car is not only a good film, but an important one.
" – Agustín Acevedo Kanopa (La Diaria)
- " Drive My Car looks at the nature of grief through the emotions of
reserved characters, but conveys a world of healing that cannot be summed, only
felt most ardently, most appreciatively. " – Sukanya
Verma (Rediff.com)
- " Drive My Car is a mesmerising film that stays with you long
afterwards. Its rhythm and pace enfolds the viewer: by the end you see how
necessary and fitting that three-hour journey was and how much it encompassed.
" – Alexa Dalby (Dog and Wolf)
