00:00On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
00:02teens on the hunt for a big party.
00:09Here's the booth, right there in the tree.
00:12Gasoline Rainbow is not for everyone.
00:14I'm gonna start by saying that.
00:16If Gasoline Rainbow is for you,
00:17and you'll know about five minutes in whether it is,
00:20I think you will enjoy a night film more this year.
00:22It's a faux documentary
00:25by a director, Joey, called The Ross Brothers.
00:27Now I say faux documentary
00:29because you would watch their films
00:30and believe that you are watching a real documentary,
00:33but it's actually not.
00:34It's staged, it's scripted, it stars actors.
00:36They are loosely given notes
00:39and they just live their lives.
00:40So it's about five teenagers who are on their way,
00:43you know, they're having one last summer
00:45before they go to college
00:46and they're really good friends, living in Oregon,
00:48and they have one last journey together,
00:50a road trip to the Pacific coast.
00:52And this film just documents their journey
00:54and the people they meet along the way,
00:56you know, the many characters.
00:58And it's got a freewheeling notion to it.
01:00And it really just put me with them in the car.
01:04And yeah, maybe it made me hope,
01:07or dream myself that I could one day
01:09do a similar journey or whatever,
01:11but that's escapism.
01:12And I think Gasoline Rainbow offers escapism in droves,
01:16maybe more than any other film I've seen this year.
01:19It made me smile.
01:21It made me nostalgic.
01:22And yeah, it made me hopeful.
01:24What more could you ask for?
01:25Film is available to watch a movie.
01:27There's a lot of great films and movies,
01:28but I would really push this one to the top.
01:30Gasoline Rainbow is one of my, to be honest,
01:33unexpected, brilliant must-watches of the year.
