My First Mister

In this moving drama, Leelee Sobieski delivers an outstanding performance as a teenage girl grappling with the complexities of divorce. She masterfully portrays the character's duality: on one hand, she dons a tough exterior through her gothic rebellion, while underneath she is a fragile and wounded individual trying to make sense of her circumstances. Albert Brooks, in contrast, plays a meticulous middle-aged menswear store owner who lives by his rigid routine and keeps his secrets under wraps with an air of quiet reserve.The story takes an unexpected turn as these two seemingly disparate characters, with their stark differences, find themselves on a collision course. While their initial interactions are laden with conflict, they eventually form an unforeseen alliance that irrevocably changes the trajectory of both lives. This compelling narrative dives deep into the intricate layers of human connection, resilience, and transformation as it unfolds through the journey of these two unlikely souls.
