In India Donaldson’s insightful, piercing debut, 17-year-old Sam (Lily Collias) embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris (James Le Gros) and his oldest friend, Matt (Danny McCarthy). As the two men quickly settle into a gently quarrelsome brother dynamic airing long-held grievances, Sam, wise beyond her years, attempts to mediate.
When lines are crossed and Sam’s trust is betrayed tensions reach a fever pitch as Sam struggles with her dad’s emotional limitation and experiences the universal moment when the parental bond is tested. A selection of the Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival. 2024, U.S., DCP, 89 minutes. Rated R.
