Watch Suncoast: Synopsis
They may come in all shapes and sizes, but if we asked you to think of a quintessential Sundance Film Festival movie, you'd probably come up with a list including the likes of Little Miss Sunshine, Napoleon Dynamite and (500) Days of Summer. Low-budget films with a pin-sharp script, a heart of gold, and producing tears of laughter and sadness.
Suncoast is the latest Sundance darling to join that lineage – a feelgood coming of age story from first-time director Laura Chinn.
Relative newcomer Nico Parker (Dumbo) plays Doris, Chinn's semi-autobiographical avatar. The shadow of her brother Max's brain cancer has lingered large over her childhood, and Doris frequently feels starved for attention from her mother Kristine (three-time Oscar-nominee Laura Linney). That's only exacerbated when Max is admitted to a new hospice (the titular Suncoast), leaving the teenager to begin finding positive reinforcement from other sources.
We're talking new friends, boys, and parties – all of which Kristine would surely not approve. Plus, an unlikely friendship with grieving widower Paul (played by Hollywood royalty Woody Harrelson), who helps Doris unlock the suffocating emotions that have hitherto prevented her from fully embracing adolescence.
As Doris learns to love her life, will insurmountable barriers build between daughter and mother?
Not to be overshadowed by her more experienced cast members, it looks like a star-making turn from Parker in the central role – a spitting image of real-life mom and actress Thandiwe Newton. Find out how to watch Suncoast online from Friday, February 9 on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in other corners of the globe.
