delightful new road comedy by the equally delightful directors/lovers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau.

It would all be too obviously feel-good if Ducastel and Martineau weren't also tuned in to the liberating drift of the open highway and a sharp native humor that adds needed flesh and blood to their walking metaphors.

I can’t even begin to imagine what a crude American director would choose to do with it, and don’t want to.

Narratively, what we have here is a basic road movie, a genre that too often doubles as an excuse to hide a flawed script -- merely an episodic series of loose vignettes.

The greatest accomplishment of writer-directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau is that they can sustain subtle expressions of love, both physical and emotional... while also allowing these same characters to deal with the shortcomings of humanity.

There is a sort of sun-washed gay complacency to Adventures of Felix, a streak of greeting card glibness.

I like to see gay characters in films, but filmmakers can't specifically rely on their gayness to make them interesting.

Top Critic An odyssey of self-discovery of much charm, humor and admirable subtlety.

Top Critic ...it does provide a charismatic telling of a young man's journey to find himself...
