IMDb plot summary: A father and daughter form an unlikely songwriting duo in the summer before she leaves for college.
Directed by Brett Haley. Starring Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Toni Collette, and Sasha Lane.
This is so lovely. It's such a warm movie, with such a beautifully developed relationship between father and daughter, but without any of the enormous dramatic blow-ups we sometimes come to expect from movies about parents and children. There's a comfort level between the two where they encourage each other and cheer for each other but also allow themselves to have different lives -- and even when that's a bit of a struggle, they figure it out. I also love how much attention is actually paid to the music here. I'd be happy calling this a musical (I teared up a little at the end as if it was, anyway!). Really beautiful film.
