Review of Rudderless (2014) by Jim H — 29 Sep 2015
A father discovers a box of tapes and joins a band which covers his dead son's songs.
With a soaring, remarkable soundtrack, fantastic, touching performances by the whole cast, and an almost unmatched story, William H. Macy's directorial debut is a tour de force. The first act is a compelling story about recovery, and the second act explores the relationship between Sam, Billy Crudup's grieving father, and Quentin, Anton Yelchin's young, insecure musician, but it's the third act that turns the entire story on its head in a reveal that's both surprising and completely natural.
Overall, this indie drama is incredible.
