A YEAR AND CHANGE

Cinemavixion Review

Stephen Suettinger's 'A Year and Change' offers a poignant exploration of personal transformation against the backdrop of ordinary life. The narrative follows Owen, portrayed with understated vulnerability by Bryan Greenberg, as he navigates a year of profound self-discovery following a New Year's Eve mishap. The film adeptly balances Owen's quest for sobriety and reconciliation with his estranged son, with the budding romance with Vera, played by Claire van der Boom. The supporting cast, including T.R. Knight, adds depth to Owen's journey, illustrating the intricate web of relationships that define our lives. Suettinger crafts a narrative that is both intimate and universally relatable, reminding us that significant change often begins with the smallest of shifts. It's a thoughtful character study that resonates with its honest portrayal of second chances and the enduring human need for connection.
