It’s a movie that follows someone from one treatment facility to another! I’ve enjoyed some of this director’s previous work; they are among my favorites. However, this film feels pretty ordinary. I consistently appreciate his storytelling and the characters he creates—something many other filmmakers struggle with. This is yet another compelling subject matter, dealing with drug addiction this time around. The story centers on Charlie, who's just become an adult after being released from a rehab program for young people. His father, who’s campaigning to be governor, insists that he immediately enter an adult facility. Charlie resists, but eventually complies and encounters Eva, another person facing challenges. A brief romantic connection develops, and how it all resolves brings the story to a close. The premise seemed promising, though its intention wasn't entirely clear. Naturally, the film addresses issues related to drug use, particularly the process of recovering from addiction. It felt more authentic than relying on dramatic plot developments. You can probably guess how things will turn out, but some of the characters’ actions were surprising. The ending was satisfying and left a small takeaway. Nick Robinson gave a really strong performance; I initially thought it starred Jack O'Connell because I confused Nick Robinson with him based on the poster. It doesn’t have much complexity in its presentation, but it is still an enjoyable film. You should definitely see it for Rob Reiner if you are unsure about watching it. _6/10_
