Good One Takes to the Woods for a Gorgeous and Subtle Coming-of-Age Story

Sometimes it seems like doing the right thing can feel more troublesome than helpful, making you wish you could change the past. The movie ‘Good One’, written and directed by India Donaldson, explores one such difficult moment. It’s about realizing that people, driven by their own needs, might unintentionally exploit others’ kindness and empathy. Additionally, it portrays the perspective of a thoughtful teenager trying to navigate the complexities of life. The film subtly touches on these themes without forcefully stating them, allowing them to swim just beneath the surface like small, agile fish. Despite its modest size, ‘Good One’ leaves a lasting impression.
