Teenaged Mickey is the minder of her PTSD-afflicted father, a Iraq war veteran addicted to psychotropic meds. Their relationship turns increasingly toxic, bringing life-changing decisions surging to the fore. Annabelle Attanasio’s assured feature début handles a complex reality with restraint, delivering a nuanced portrait of a determined, resilient young woman struggling to spread her wings in the face of an overwhelming burden.
