The cast doesn't look like a troupe of actors; it could easily be taken for an ordinary family with plenty of physical and psychological bumps and bruises, but always loving.

When Emila, (Gracina) an Argentinian grandmother is invited to be the 'matron of honor' at the wedding of a distant niece she invites her whole family to accompany her. They set off in a 1956 Chevy Viking camper on a cross country journey to the border of Argentina and Brazil. Between the starting point of Buenos Aires and the destination of Misiones, all the anger, sorrow, attraction and warmth between four cramped generations comes to the surface. "Rolling Family" is a joyful and complex film that illuminates family life filled with affection, melancholy, and plenty of humor. -- © Palm Pictures [More]

Reviews for Rolling Family
Getting released so close to Little Miss Sunshine can't be a coincidence.
Despite some nice performances ... it never gets out of the predictable low gear.
The film sets up a familiar dichotomy: traditional values, common sense, and a sense of nature, contrasted with urban sophistication, neurosis, and selfishness.
While the film is completely unpretentious and moves at a pleasant pace, it's also lightweight.
Not a movie of ideas but an emotional and tactile experience of economy-class travel.
This is all about boredom, anger and sex, and what we get most is the first on the list.
Trapero focuses on hazy morning sunrises and landscapes rushing by, and the way he frames the action in that tiny camper is like an extended, bravura stunt.
Director-writer Pablo Tapero keeps the proceedings low-key and realistic. He doesn't hit you over the head with his ideas, yet he manages to say a lot about human nature.
The movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise.
It's a profoundly rich and beautiful picture, in its unassuming way close to a masterpiece.
The cast is as spiritedly naturalistic as Guillermo Nieto's cinematography, but there's no sense of place (let alone insight), and for a road movie that's a fatal flaw.
Proves that Americans don't hold the patent on familial dysfunction, but it's also a sincere personal essay about writer-director Trapero's Argentinean family.
Filled with the kind of universal truths that know few language barriers.
The film has humanity to burn, but its loose structure makes it hard to connect with the multiple characters.
