tom m Just okay. The performance by the actress in the title role was a bit flat. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In this the Age of the Blockbuster, the family drama with relatable characters in a recognizable situation is almost an endangered species. "Pearl" shows us that a well-told, well-acted human story is still alive and well when in the hands of the right director, writer and cast. This is indeed a family drama, but very much of the twenty-first century: Pearl and her dad have never met until she shows up on his doorstep, grandma is better at hitting the gin bottle than dealing with a feisty fifteen-year-old, and Mom, well let's just say she's no longer in the picture (you'll have to see the film to find out why). Bobby Roth directs an excellent ensemble cast in his own script. Anthony LaPaglia couldn't be better as the on-the-skids father reluctantly facing up to his responsibilities, and Larsen Thompson (definitely an actress to watch!) as Pearl, is more than up to the task of getting him in touch with his father-feeling. Their rocky relationship is at the heart of a story which challenges us to define what constitutes family in our own fragmented times.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Pearl is a touching, emotional story of a girl reeling from a horrific trauma and her possible biological father, a mess of a man whose best years are well behind him. The lead actors conduct themselves with incredible grace as the characters navigate their private issues and learn to accept and value each other. Some notable actors in minor roles add spice to the film. Definitely worth a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
