Viggo Mortensen stars in his own directorial debut, inspired by his childhood and adolescence. Liberal John lives in sunny California, surrounded by his loving family and far from the provincial values of his stern, homophobic father. When his father starts showing signs of dementia, John feels duty-bound to rise above past grievances and take care of him. A standout in the official selections at Cannes, Toronto and Sundance, this honest drama about forgiveness, responsibility and the fragility of familial bonds reminds us not to wait to tell each other what’s most important.
