Chill and tender coming-of-age narrative

Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Wow, 2024 Sundance really had lots of good movies this year because "Good One" really was one of my favorites from the festival. Filmmaker India Donaldson creates a strong debut project with good writing on the themes of generational differences, beautiful camerawork and good performances from the cast members.

Donaldson really captures the essence of nature landscapes, hiking, and conversations between characters and life. The atmosphere, camerawork, and sound designs are relaxing and many of the dialogue moments felt nature and realistic. All of the performances are good and Lily Collias was amazing in her first performance.

This movie really is like a good ASMR or vibe story like something made from Kelly Reichardt. Overall good movie.

Good but unconsistent

Warning: Spoilers
Saw it at Sundance this year.

The dynamic between the three was great and the role reversal worked well. The relationship between her and her dad was very good. It would have to be for her to go on a 3 day trip with him. Her performance was strong as was the dad and his friend. The cinematography was very good and during the q&a we found out how they used atvs to get their gear in to shoot the scenes in the forest. Very cool.

Liked most of it but found a big unresolved issue that I can't get over. Don't want to give anything away. Not sure why it was written that way, but not what I expected.
