On twitter people were saying this is the most underrated movie of the year. And considering I had never heard of it and what my score is that might be true.

It follows a young 12 year old girl who is living on her own because her mom died recently and she doesn’t want social services to take her from her home, and one day her dad shows up whom she has never met to take care of her. Her dad is young, and very invasively intrudes on her life. Yet you’re kind of on his side cause she’s 12 living alone.

The whole movie is basically them falling in love as father and daughter. It was actually quite beautiful and I liked it a lot. This is one of those movies I think I’ll think about a lot. It felt very low production but not in a bad way at all. You immediately fall in love with the girl and her friend, and also the dad as he’s trying to navigate being a dad. It was funny and heartwarming and at 1:20 very easily digestible.
