After tragedy strikes Henry and Penny, he befriends a tenacious young girl and discovers she is constructing a raft to sail across the Atlantic to find her lost father. Together, along with some unlikely friends, they set forth to construct the vessel and subsequently rebuild their lives.
Acting
Maisie Williams carries serious dramatic weight opposite Sudeikis's restrained grief.
Production
The actual raft construction feels tactile and lovingly detailed.
Writing
Balances absurd premise with genuine emotional stakes surprisingly well.
