The Go-Getter

2008 · 93 min

A meandering, music-driven indie road movie that feels like a wistful, aimless summer drive—tender, quirky, and a little lost.

Tagline: Life doesn't come with a roadmap.
Overview: When his mother dies, a teenager takes a road-trip in a stolen car to find his long-lost brother. Along the way he discovers a profound connection with the car-owner and with himself as well.
How it feels: Melancholic, whimsical, warm and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Grief, identity, coming-of-age, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
