Flora and Son is a very sweet, heartwarming watch. I had warm fuzzies almost the whole time. Eve Hewson's Flora feels like someone you know, just super realistic and lived-in, and Joseph Gordon Levitt is charming in a restrained way.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming story about mending a fractured mother-son relationship through the unexpected language of music. It's earnest without being heavy, finding warmth and humour in the messy work of family repair.
