GOOD ONE Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In India Donaldson’s insightful, piercing debut, 17-year-old Sam (Collias) embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris (Le Gros) and his oldest friend, Matt (McCarthy). As the two men quickly settle into a gently quarrelsome brotherly dynamic, airing long-held grievances, Sam, wise beyond her years, attempts to mediate. But when lines are crossed and Sam’s trust is betrayed, tensions reach a fever pitch, as Sam struggles with her dad’s emotional limitations and experiences the universal moment when the parental bond is tested. Selected in both Sundance and Cannes' Director s' Fortnight, Good One is an emotionally expansive work that probes the limits of familial trust, understanding, and ultimately, forgiveness.

00:00Oh
00:16Can you get in the back why do I have to go because I'm asking you so nicely
00:22What's my son so angry about?
00:29His trans-relationship ending.
00:31Are you eavesdropping on us back there?
00:33I'm literally a foot away from you.
00:37I don't think I've ever seen you eat this much.
00:39This is a regular amount of food.
00:41I didn't even know you ate meat.
00:42Yeah, I thought you were a vegetarian.
00:44I've never been a vegetarian, Dad.
00:45You seem like one, though.
00:47I'm going the speed limit.
00:48You're actually going five miles over.
00:50I'm not, and you always go, like, at least ten over.
00:53That is my privilege as father.
00:55She's a better driver than you, man.
00:57That's because I taught her.
00:58Damn, that's heavy.
00:59You're joking.
01:00What?
01:01We are hiking.
01:02All day.
01:03Yeah.
01:04So it's going to be a lot heavier after an hour or seven.
01:07I'm fine.
01:18Sam, you know where the lighter is?
01:19Why don't you just rub sticks together?
01:20You two are fools.
01:22The best thing you can do is have a family.
01:26Stop.
01:27Sometimes they're going to hate you, and sometimes...
01:30Oh, Jesus.
01:32Dad, stop.
01:33They're going to even want to hang out with you, like this one.
01:41You okay?
01:43Other people.
01:44Welcome.
01:45It's a nice little spot you got here.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Are they stinking?
01:48That's fine.
02:00You do the bad thing, and the bad thing is all you think about.
02:05You can't even remember what the bad thing was.
02:09And after a while, it's like it never even happened.
02:15Will we just have a nice day?
02:18Yeah.
