About This Movie

Stealaway is a poignant drama that navigates the delicate terrain of family bonds and the bittersweet essence of cherishing life's fleeting moments. As little Matty lies confined to a hospital bed, the film unfolds with a raw authenticity, drawing you into a brother's determination to gift his sibling one last adventure. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to settle, while the performances—particularly that of the older brother Mike—carry a sense of urgency tinged with melancholy. There's a simplicity to the practical effects that enhances the film's grounded atmosphere. It’s not flashy; rather, it’s an intimate exploration of love and loss that lingers long after the credits roll, quietly profound in its execution.
