Wildhood is a 2021 Canadian coming-of-age romantic drama film about a young man in his late teens who was raised disconnected from his mother's native Mi'kmaq heritage by his abusive white father. Following the discovery that his mother, whom he had long been told was dead, is in fact still alive, he takes his younger half-brother on a journey to find her. A fascinating film and a touching story. I watched it on Hulu.

The Guardian says, "Set in Nova Scotia, Bretten Hannam’s tremendously shot film follows two boys as they flee their abusive dad and embark upon a quest". The Hollywood Reporter says, "Wildhood combines the foundation of heartrending coming-of-age narratives with the feel-good elements of road trip flicks to create a delicate, not to mention visually appealing, [second] film [for this director]." Rotten Tomatoes has a 100% critics consensus score.

DeleteWhat a tough history.
ReplyDeleteIt has a good ending, though, so that helps.
DeleteI am sure this is a great story. Sadly, I don't have Hulu? Does anyone even remember when Hulu was completely free? Then they put in a pay wall and some stuff was still free. I watched a LOT of Korean (mysteries) films before everything required payment. I think YouTube is headed that way, too.
ReplyDeleteI remember when they had rotating free stuff. I watched a lot on there free. YouTube has too many random individually-run channels for it to work that way for them, but they do have a paid service available.
