Details

For 17 years, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday in the same spot, asking her the same questions. In just 29 minutes, we watch her grow from a toddler to a young woman with all the beautiful and sometimes awkward stages in between. Each phase is captured fleetingly but makes an indelible mark. Her responses to her father’s questions are just a backdrop for a deeper story of parental love, acceptance, and ultimately, independence.

Reviews

Manthast Absolutely amazing
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
