Kings for a Day

About This Movie

The film's tone is gritty, almost melancholic, capturing the desperation of chasing dreams while being tethered to family obligations—especially when your dad's a crook. The pacing feels deliberate, with moments of introspection that draw you in, making you feel the weight of his choices. Performances are solid; you can sense the internal conflict in the lead, which really elevates the material.
