Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for people who love a good family story and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young man abandons his family for a solitary life of fly-fishing. His goal was to find his own way in the fishing world and thereby find himself and love.
