I didn't expect much of this film, but wound up being very taken with the acting and the script.
A man and a child live a rootless life but are clearly very close to each other, but the viewer knows from the beginning that there is more to the story. An unexpected encounter with a missing child poster sets both of them on a life-changing journey. How the father and daughter deal with their fate and the changes that must come into their lives unfolds slowly, with few big moments, and yet with a sense of inevitability.
Tom Hildreth is excellent, portraying a complex character with many sides, but whose life has been changed by love. I predict a great acting future-- if she chooses it-- for Maggie Elizabeth Jones, whose acting was natural and affecting. Ted Levine, as usual, brings depth to a role that could have been very pro forma.
All in all, well worth watching.
