After being raised in the wilderness, a teenage girl moves to the city. She has hopes of finding a normal life with her anything-but-normal mother.
Based on Cea Sunrise Person’s 2014 memoir about her experiences growing up with her anti-establishment family in the wilds of 1970s Western Canada, Stone’s warm-hearted film traces the journey of Cea as she tries to find her own path in spite of the often questionable guidance provided by her free-spirited mother (Sarah Gadon) and iconoclastic grandfather (the legendary Robert Carlyle). While this family’s idea of normal may seem unusual to some, Stone’s take on the push-and-pull of filial dynamics is as astute as it is relatable. (KCFF 2023)
It’s an engrossing tale and one of the best-directed film adaptations of the year.
