Influencer and disability activist Lauren “Lolo” Spencer makes a vibrant screen debut in this humane dramatic comedy about a perpetually late medical transport driver steering a bus that’s effectively a microcosm of American society. The film follows Vic (Chris Galust) as he navigates between the caregiving needs of his Russian grandfather and his friends, en route to a funeral, and his responsibilities toward his passengers, including an outspoken young social worker with ALS (Spencer), while all roads in downtown Milwaukee divert from a Black Lives Matter protest. It’s an equally tense and uproarious experience, in the tradition of After Hours and Uncut Gems.
