American Dreamer (2024)

Can a homeless yet optimistic teenage girl learn to accept a helping hand?

Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.

Elsewhere is less than fourteen minutes long, but it delivers a more emotional impact than most feature-length films. 

A trio of girls form a band and enter a singing competition together after learning they work best as a team.

Our trilogy at Seabrook High School starts with a rivalry between zombies and humans who eventually come together.

With such a raw look at the 15th century, it seems that Disney was really trying to step outside of its element with this motion picture.
