About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quirky, feel-good indie about family and belief with a modern-day treasure hunt vibe; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big laughs, or tight realism like Something New.
Pros: heartfelt father-daughter bond; quirky treasure-hunt premise; strong lead performances | Cons: slow pacing at times; uneven tone shifts; distracting side tangents
