Throughout the movie, the roles of parent and child become blurred, as Hank’s codependency takes a tragically emotional toll on Mickey. The website's critics consensus reads: "Brought to life by a breakout performance by Camila Morrone, Mickey and the Bear finds affecting drama at the crossroads of a young woman's coming-of-age journey. What you come away with is a sense of uncanny precision and confidence—not just in the way the characters channel the characters' feelings, and draw on their histories to inflect each small moment, but in the way that Attanasio and her filmmaking collaborators (including cinematographer Conor Murphy and editor Henry Hayes) always try to focus our attention on what's important. The performances are uniformly superb, particularly by Morrone, who carries much of the film's tension in closeups of her face as the character silently thinks about her life; and Dale, one of the great, largely unsung American actors. Secretly, Mickey fantasizes of going to college on the west coast and finally living life on her own terms. It stars James Badge Dale, Calvin Demba, Camila Morrone, Ben Rosenfield and Rebecca Henderson. Hank loves his daughter and is proud of her, but because of his many problems—including unarticulated resentment at having been "abandoned" when his wife died—he's far from a reliable parent. But their negative impact is so negligible compared to the film's accomplishments that they barely register in the long run.

"Mickey and the Bear," about a young woman and her Iraq war veteran father living in Anaconda, Montana, is an almost perfectly realized drama that feels as if it was time-warped in from 40 or 50 years ago, when people still wanted to see movies about people living in the actual world. It had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 9, 2019. This is a movie in the tradition of great American cinema chamber pieces like "The Last Picture Show," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," "The Great Santini," and more recently, "Winter's Bone." It’s one of towns time forgot, one of unspoken mental illness, drug addiction.

Later should start immediately. It's almost excruciatingly tense at times, not because you expect physical violence to break out (although there is that potential with Hank, a volatile man) but because of the constant churn of emotional violence just beneath the surface. The Trailer For Kristen Stewart & Mackenzie Davis’ Lesbian Christ... Anne Hathaway Apologizes To Disabled Community After. We know that after a certain point that it all has to be addressed. This is the debut feature by by actor-filmmaker Annabelle Attanasio—daughter of "Quiz Show" screenwriter Paul Attanasio—but it's so assured that it feels like it could be her third or fourth movie. It's getting a limited release and probably won't play in theaters for long—we live in a different era now, when only tentpole blockbusters and certain horror films can get people to leave their homes—but viewers who crave this sort of film should be able to rent or buy it online. Too many independent films in this vein become self-regarding slogs. The scene in which Wyatt and Mickey are sitting at shore near the river and where Hank jumps in the river, was filmed at the Johnsrud Park near the Blackfoot River in Missoula County.

The film doesn't offer pat answers to any of the questions it poses, or slather inappropriate notes of optimism onto situations where you'd find that kind of approach insulting. Hallmark Channel’s Holiday Movie Lineup Is Back: Here’s Wha... Everyone You Kinda Sorta Recognize In Netflix’s. But when Hank gets drunk and has to be bailed out of jail or escorted home from a bar, and Mickey has to help him off with his boots and tend to his hangovers the next day, we see a role-reversal happening.

A dinner table scene between Mickey and Hank where painfully raw history is discussed starts out in a profile wide shot of the two at a the dinner table, facing each other like boxers in a ring, and stays there until the scene changes emphasis in a way that makes you want to get closer to the actors' faces, at which point we see them in alternating closeups (exchanging increasingly destructive verbal blows).

Mickey and the Bear is enthralling, heart-wrenching, and absolutely worth watching (JRL: 4.5/5) Review by FF2 Intern Julia Lasker It was released on November 14, 2019, by Utopia. It’s April in Anaconda, Montana, and headstrong teenager Mickey Peck (Camila Morrone) is doing what she can to keep her single, veteran father (James Badge Dale) afloat, navigating his mercurial moods, opioid addiction, and grief over the loss of his wife. Mickey and the Bear ( 2019) Mickey and the Bear. [4] It was released on November 13, 2019.

It stars James Badge Dale, Calvin Demba, Camila Morrone, Ben Rosenfield and Rebecca Henderson. He loitered around the edges of commercial cinema for nearly two decades looking for a breakout matinee idol role that never quite found him. Despite searching for her own identity and independence, Mickey is determined to keep her household afloat. He gets jealous of her boyfriend Aron, played by Ben Rosenfield, a domineering whiner who's like a cut-rate, younger photocopy of Hank. And it pulls off a number of brilliantly acted and inventively directed scenes with such subtlety that it takes a moment to register the degree of difficulty that must have been involved. Even though Mickey is just 18, she's been put in the position of a mom, caring for an overgrown, self-pitying, and self-medicating teenager. And when she takes up with a new guy, Calvin Demba's Wyatt—an English soccer player whose mom grew up nearby—Hank seems to resent her even more, because unlike Aron, Wyatt's got his act together. But "Mickey and the Bear" avoids nearly all of the usual pitfalls by seeming to take its cues from its characters, who aren't much for expository dialogue or therapeutic language, and its lead actors, who let us know what their characters are feeling while hiding what they might be thinking. It's easy to over-explain characters and situations in a film like this, and the temptation to just wallow in misery can be tough to resist.

Mickey’s story isn’t necessarily autobiographical.

Mickey Peck is navigating through both life in her hometown in Anaconda, Montana, and her loving but volatile relationship with her single, veteran father Hank, whom she has to take responsibility for. [5], Mickey and the Bear received positive reviews from film critics. I felt my family’s problems were my sole responsibility to fix, and spent a great deal of adolescence mediating between my parents and attempting to take on their emotional dysfunction."

There are also trace elements of platonic marriage in the relationship, with Hank playing the role of the terse, macho Man of the House (Mickey does all the cooking) and expecting his daughter to be the immovable object to his irresistible force.

But now, as he heads into his 40s, he's become the continuation of Robert Duvall by other means: the kind of actor who can play quiet or flamboyant, heroic or villainous, and everything in between, always making you believe you're seeing a real person who could walk into a diner and order the lunch special.

But it's hard for her to leave. As the country continues to rot from the inside out, more stories like Mickey and the Bear have appeared, sobering reminders for the high-minded art film crowd that we are swiftly becoming two Americas. When he leaves Anaconda after graduation, he could take Mickey with him. It's worth seeking out for the way it observes psychologically complex small-town characters struggling to endure present-day hardships and past traumas. Mickey and the Bear Review.

Matt Zoller Seitz is the Editor at Large of RogerEbert.com, TV critic for New York Magazine and Vulture.com, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in criticism. It's definitely father-daughter at its core, even though Hank isn't much for details (when he forgets Mickey's birthday, he pretends he was just doing a bit).

At first glance, Netflix’s His House appears to be your typical. Hank is a tattooed, muscled, hard-drinking Iraq war veteran who is dependent on oxycontin and becomes a mess when he doesn't meet a certain dosage. There are plenty of opportunities for the actors and the filmmakers to overdo things, but they never take them. Practicing a degree of restraint and discipline that feels as military-minded as Hank's facility at handling guns during target practice, the movie never takes aim at a target it can't hit. He's a classically handsome hero-type, but with the soul of a 1970s eccentric, in the mode of a Brad Pitt or Jeff Bridges. Her face is beautiful and open, with constant hints of what lies beneath that perceived openness. After 5 weeks, filming was completed on September 23, 2018. There are a few elements that seem a bit indie-filmish, such as giving the heroine an escape valve and second love interest who's almost unnervingly sweet and decent, and has the face of a 1950s dreamboat hunk; from certain angles, Demba evokes the young Paul Newman or Marlon Brando.
