On Friday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m. the Webster Film Series is bringing India Donaldson's Sundance hit GOOD ONE back to the big screen in St. Louis for one show only. GOOD ONE previously played both Ronnie's and Plaza Frontenac in August and is one of the most acclaimed movies of the year. One of its three leads, Danny McCarthy, is a St. Louis native and an alumnus of Webster University's Conservatory, and he will be present for a post-film discussion after our show!
(India Donaldson, 2024, USA, 90 minutes)
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 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.
Screening is followed by Q&A with star Danny McCarthy.
