Learning to Drive has a familiar set-up,
and it doesn’t take long to figure out where the story is heading. It takes
remarkably longer for the film to actually get there, stumbling down the
well-worn narrative path, easily distracted by unnecessary and redundant
sequences. Boiled down to its essence, Learning
to Drive is little more than a short film which has been bloated by
repeated sequences pounding the transparent metaphor of the title into
audiences’ brains. It is a mild and innocuous; not so much bad as it is bland
and forgettable, despite the best efforts from its stars.
