This epic voyage across a crystalline seascape rivals ‘Kon-Tiki’ in its outright appeal to the escapist in all of us, while matching ‘Citizen Kane’ as a sweeping indictment of monomania, egocentricism and camera-on-a-stick cinematography. Not since David Lean’s ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ has the mortal lens captured such sweep, verve and napping. The performances by the child actor Tracy Olmstead and her dog, Christian, are remarkable in their subtlety, conveying at once a near invisibility and at the same time, mid-day hangovers from too many bloody marys at a boat party brunch the morning of departure.
