VENUE: Historic Duncan Auditorium

In India Donaldson’s insightful, piercing debut, 17-year-old Sam (Lily Collias in her first starring role) embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris (James Le Gros, Drugstore Cowboy) and his oldest friend, Matt (Danny McCarthy, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs). As the two men quickly settle into a gently quarrelsome brotherly dynamic, airing long-held grievances, Sam, wise beyond her years, attempts to mediate. But when lines are crossed and Sam’s trust is betrayed, tensions reach a fever pitch, as Sam struggles with her dad’s emotional limitations and experiences the universal moment when the parental bond is tested. Selected in both Sundance and Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight, Good One is an emotionally expansive work that probes the limits of familial trust, understanding, and ultimately, forgiveness.

This screening is held in the Historic Duncan Auditorium. This space utilizes open seating for this event; seat selection is not required.
