The North Way is quite a fascinating dive into Saudi culture through the lens of a long walk, 403 kilometers to be precise, from Gurayat to Sakaka. The film captures not just the physical journey of Albara, Abdul Rahman, and their loyal dog, but really embodies those deep-rooted values of generosity and hospitality that are so intrinsic to the region. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the expansive desert landscapes, which adds a kind of meditative quality to the experience. It’s all about simplicity, really—no flashy effects, just raw moments of bonding and the beauty of a shared journey. It’s a personal exploration that feels both intimate and expansive, quietly inviting the viewer to reflect on the essence of culture and connection.
