Only Good Things

About This Movie

Only Good Things is a curious blend of drama and social commentary. The film centers on Benedetta, a 16-year-old navigating her life as the mayor's daughter, thrust into an unusual foster family that challenges her understanding of family and identity. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the complexities of her relationships. The atmosphere feels a bit surreal, with a distinct tone that oscillates between warmth and discomfort. Performances are raw and authentic, particularly the portrayal of Benedetta, who embodies the struggles of adolescence in a way that feels genuine. It’s not your typical teen drama; there’s a layer of social critique that lingers, making it distinct in its storytelling.
