This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

To paraphrase Syd Field, you can have a lot of things (acting, directing, etc.) turn a good screenplay into a bad movie, but none of those things can save a bad script and turn it into a good movie. That's the case here. This movie has a great cast (Ed Harris is one of the best actors of his generation, in my opinion) and a decent soundtrack. What is completely absent is an original thought in the entire movie. It had every chiche' imaginable. It was like the writers bought a book titled "How to Write a Road Trip Movie in Five Days" and got to work. I marked this review as having "spoilers", but honestly if you haven't figured out in the first ten minutes everything that's going to happen, then you should stick to coloring purple elephants from the refrigerator and eating paste. They used the same Saab convertible as they did in As Good As it Gets (In this movie it was red, Good As It Gets it was blue. And thank God they had the gratuitous sing-a-long with the Sudukis and Olsen, just before they fell in bed together. Here's a brief synapsis of the plot - that Ed Harris's character, a legendary photographer, is terminally ill and wants his estranged son to help him hand deliver 4 rolls of early film to have it developed. They bond, the son sleeps with the attractive nurse, he and the nurse fight (completely fabricated reason, btw), father dies, the rolls of film are of the son as a little kid, showing that the father loved him all along (blatant rip off of People Like US), son and nurse reconcile for ... reasons. Again, I pretty much knew all of this within the first ten minutes of the movie, and I intentionally try to turn my brain off to try to avoid figuring out the entire thing at the beginning and ruining it.

As a screenwriter I merely can say "what a good story". I haven't read the original article the movie is based on but what I watched in images deserve claps aloud. If you are a millennial you can't taste the nostalgia of shooting analog, but besides of that, the drama and the humor are perfectly mixed. Ed Harris confirms his talent and Jason Sudeikis proves he can act serious movies too and Elizabeth Olsen is not only a pretty face to catch bucks. Hope Netflix release it worldwide soon.

Ed Harris (Benjamin Ryder, famed photographer, a fictional character) dominates this movie with excellent acting (adding to his many fine performances during his career), and his displays of both sarcasm and pathos after years of bitterness. He and his nurse (Olsen), who encourages his estranged son Matt (Sudeikis) to accompany them to Kansas to develop Kodachrome film rolls on the last day that that film type will be done by a photo shop in Kansas. Harris is dying of liver cancer and the film revolves around his reconciliation with his son and his son's reconciliation with his failing music career and failed marriage. The film was released in April, 2018, so the 2017 date is incorrect. Harris should get an award nomination at the least for his riveting performance. All the cast was excellently cast and it's an excellent flick dealing a historical event, the end of Kodachrome (see the article in NYT December, 2010 article "For Kodachrome Fans, Road Ends at Photo Lab in Kansas" which was the inspiration for the movie). Director Mark Raso blends three separate reconciliations into one very good movie.

Heartwarming father-son Drama with some powerful Performances and great emotions. The Story is not new and neither are the character conflicts. Also the ending was rather predictable but all of this didnt hold the film back from making an emotional Impact on you. The acting is truly good. While Jason Sudeikis shines in an unusual serious roles it is Ed Harris who totally steals the film with his fantastic turn as the estranged father who on his last days wants to reunite with his son. Elizabeth Olsen also has a cute and charming turn as the good Soul who helps both to find the right Connection to each other. The film has a very good and atmospheric direction with beautiful Images, a very good score and nice editing. The screenplay may have deserved some more work, especially in regards of some of the cliches the film builds up but the acting and direction made up for these Errors. A very good turn from Netflix which could pull Ed Harris into some Awards considerations.... I hope he delivers more of that again in the near future.
