Right of Way

About This Movie

Right of Way feels like a quiet exploration of fleeting connections. The film captures a unique moment in time between two joggers, who, after a serendipitous meeting, try to reignite their run. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, and it allows the audience to soak in the subtleties of their interactions. The atmosphere is imbued with a sense of stillness, underscored by natural sounds and the rhythmic patter of feet on pavement. Performances lean towards the understated, which fits the tone perfectly. There’s a raw honesty in how they express their frustrations and hopes. It’s distinct in that it unfolds in real time, creating a palpable tension as they wrestle with their pasts while physically moving forward. A refreshing take on human connection.
