About This Movie

Count to 365 Days is this oddly charming drama that revolves around a 16-year-old's earnest desire to grow taller just to hold the hand of a girl he has feelings for. The film's atmosphere is a mix of youthful innocence and the bittersweet realities of family dynamics—like a dance around a New Year's resolution that affects not just him, but everyone connected to him. There's something oddly relatable about his determination, and it’s quite interesting how this simple wish spirals into a web of family interactions—his divorced parents, his grandparents, each lending their own flavors to his quest. The performances, while perhaps not lauded, feel genuine, and there’s a certain rawness to the storytelling that resonates well with anyone who’s navigated that awkward phase of teenage love.
