Good One Review | A Brilliant Lily Collias Saves Minimalist Drama
In its initial presentation, writer-director India Donaldson showcases her talent with the film “Good One,” a minimalist drama that has garnered critical acclaim from renowned festivals such as Sundance and Cannes. This year, it received awards for Best Independent Feature at Boston and the Champs-Élysées Film Festival. The movie was filmed in a realistic manner known as cinéma vérité, and it tells the story of a young, queer girl joining her father and his struggling friend on a camping trip over the weekend. In this film, actress Lily Collias delivers an exceptional performance, skillfully portraying the character’s melancholic disillusionment. This understated narrative may challenge viewers who are not familiar with art-house or slow cinema genres.
