Quirky Indie Dramady. A story about family, difficulty, forgiveness, and friendship in a small town where nothing goes as planned, and everyone falls down sometimes.

Beautiful movie; about loss, friendship, family, and cousins, our first best friends. Solid performances, fitting score, and the scenery is upstate NY to a T.

HUDSON is a gentle autumn drive between remembrance and forgiveness. It's title character, played sensitively by David Neal Levin, has undergone one of life's unwelcome transitions, the death of his mother, leaving him adrift in a cluttered homestead. When his long-lost cousin, played deftly by Gregory Lay, shows up unexpectedly at his door with his own internal baggage, Hudson seizes the opportunity to have him drive Hudson to spread his mother's ashes at a shared childhood vacation spot. Along the way they meet up with a young woman on her own journey back to the past. As these roads often unwind, there are unexpected reunions, pitfalls and u-turns. Together the three rediscover the childhood they left behind on their individual paths to adulthood. In the beautiful upstate NY countryside, we recognize along with them that the past is never truly what we remember and acceptance is to simply live in the present.

It looks great, performances are solid in a very mellow way, and the resolution feels like a long-coming hug from a buddy. It's nice.

It all feels rather predictable as if Cunningham is showing what he can do as a director rather than telling a story.
