Flying Lessons

About This Movie

Flying Lessons is a quiet, introspective drama that really captures the bittersweet nature of returning to one’s roots. Sophie Conway, at 25, finds herself back in a small town she thought she’d left behind, and it’s all about the little moments of reconnection and tension with her past. The pacing lingers a bit, giving you time to absorb the atmosphere filled with nostalgia and regret. There’s a rawness in the performances, especially with the character of Harry, an Alzheimer's patient, who adds a poignant layer to the story. The film explores themes of memory, loss, and the complex ties of family and friendship, making it distinctive in its own subtle way.
