A likeable diversion: Adam Scott and Joel Bissonnette in 'Passenger Side'
Matthew Bissonnette’s third feature Passenger Side is a mellow, honey-hued road movie which sees two discordant brothers combing the streets of Los Angeles with an initially mysterious purpose. A likeable diversion, for the most part it’s a nicely played two-hander depicting the rekindling of a sibling bond.
The script is snappy and intelligently written and the film features some nicely underplayed hilarity
