This is a slow moving, stuff happens movie but the performances are very good and it is heartwarming in the end. If you like coming of age movies I recommend it.
Nico Parker really shines in her performance. I hope to see her in more movies in the future as she has talent. The whole cast is very good.
MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
One problem I had was I kept expecting Doris's new friends to turn out bad and do something really mean to her. Because of this I was a bit anxious throughout the movie. This never happens and wish I had known in advance as I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more. As it turns out her friends are typical spoiled upper middle class kids but their hearts are basically good.
Woody Harrelson was GREAT in his role. The part of an older man befriending a teen high school girl could easily have come across creepy and pervy but you NEVER get that vibe from Woody.
Me, my wife, and my 23 year old daughter all enjoyed this move a lot. Put it on your watch list.
