    Good One (2024) Review: A Daughter Sees Clearly

    Good One is India Donaldson's quietly piercing debut, in which a Catskills hiking trip shows a 17-year-old how easily the men around her let her down.

    Yes, with patience. It is a precise, understated drama that rewards viewers who like small gestures and silence, less so anyone wanting a big confrontation.
