The Better Man

About This Movie

So, 'The Better Man' is one of those indie gems that has a certain charm, you know? It's got this offbeat vibe, mixing comedy with a real emotional thread that pulls at you. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but that's kind of part of its charm – you get these moments of levity that contrast nicely with the deeper themes of father-son relationships and the struggles of the creative process. Daniel Green's direction is refreshingly candid, and the performances, particularly the dynamic between the father and son, really shine. There's nothing flashy here, just solid storytelling with a few nice practical effects sprinkled in to keep things grounded. It’s distinctive in how it captures that indie spirit, with a road trip vibe that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
