Good One

It's subtle; nothing is underlined. You can discover the movie as it goes along for yourself.

A low-key, superbly acted, very well-directed indie.

A quiet yet powerful film about learning how you want to be in the world, Good One is an impressive calling card for both Donaldson and Collias herself.

Despite a few lines of dialogue veering into on-the-nose territory, at its best “Good One” catches fragments of a lifetime in a sentence or two.

Welcome to “Good One,” India Donaldson’s short, sharp, subtle tale of a teenager on a camping trip with her father and his best friend.

It’s a star-making turn: not just a good one, a great one.

Will bring indie film lovers back to the times of camping trips with dad and when mumblecore was at its finest.

Lily Collias is a revelation in India Donaldson’s profound and captivating feature debut. [Full Review in Spanish]

A breakout performance from Lily Collias imbues India Donaldson's tightly directed film with a magnetic, propulsive quality. A masterclass in low-key filmmaking.

It’s Donaldson’s sure and steady hand of storytelling that doesn’t need to explain everything to the audience. But there’s enough subtext to know that these three people will never be the same after this trip.
