Thanks to Her

About This Movie

Thanks to Her is an interesting slice of life that explores the unexpected connections formed in the most unlikely situations. Millie Blake, a high school soccer player, finds herself struggling with her preconceived notions after being forced into community service with Andy Wellick, a classmate whose open identity sparks tension. The film captures a raw, poignant atmosphere with its focus on character development and the slow, often awkward interactions that unfold in the nursing home. There’s something very real about the performances—especially how Millie and Andy evolve over the course of their time together. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to breathe and reflect, which really enhances the themes of empathy and understanding. It’s not flashy, but it has a sincerity that resonates quietly.
