'Good One' Movie Sets Release Date With Metrograph Pictures (deadline.com)

The first title acquired by Metrograph since its recent expansion into theatrical releases under the leadership of former A24 exec David Laub, Good One watches as 17-year-old Sam (newcomer Lily Collias) embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris (James Le Gros) and his oldest friend, Matt (Danny McCarthy). As the two men quickly settle into a gently quarrelsome brotherly dynamic, airing long-held grievances, Sam, wise beyond her years, attempts to mediate. But when lines are crossed and Sam’s trust is betrayed, tensions reach a fever pitch, as Sam struggles with her dad’s emotional limitations and experiences the universal moment when the parental bond is tested.
