Featuring powerful performances and an emotional storyline matched by a moody setting, this is a film that can connect with a lot of different age groups. Brian Cox (Succession) and Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone) lead the adult cast in Little Wing, but the star is really 13-year-old Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project). Prince is present in just about every scene, and we experience the film through her. It's a testimony to her sincerity as an actor, and the writing and directing, that the film strikes very few false notes in constructing the life of a depressed teen. Cox is also fantastic at conveying tenderness beneath the gruff. This isn't always an easy movie to watch, but it's a poignant tale that is well told and pays off.
