Storyline

For 17 years, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday in the same spot, asking her the same questions. In just 29 minutes, we watch her grow from a toddler to a young woman with all the beautiful and sometimes awkward stages in between. Each phase is captured fleetingly but makes an indelible mark. Her responses to her father’s questions are just a backdrop for a deeper story of parental love, acceptance, and ultimately, independence.

Conceptually, the film functions on two levels: A loosely scientific one that charts incremental intellectual and emotional maturity. And the other, more prevailing, is about the emotional journey of a parent...

Wonderfully simple, yet ambitious, and sweetly touching.

RTFilm ThreatMar 7, 2023

A home movie that leaves the viewer with a big grin and perhaps even reflective on their own life. It chronicles life and time uniquely and beautifully.
