An outcast teen connects with his isolated grandfather for the first time. He discovers he has a surprising past when he makes his grandfather the subject of an animated art project for school.

Los Angeles Times

Like a history lesson delivered by an excited and affable - if inexperienced - teacher, "The Samuel Project" means well and will likely move audiences, despite its own undermining efforts.

It could use more of grandpa's drama and less teen dramedy, but it's heartwarming.

I was talked into seeing this movie and I am glad that my movie partner was so persuasive. We need more movies like this where you walk out of the theater feeling joyful. It's not going to win any individual award category but that could be said for any movie that I've seen in 2019

Saw this movie at an indie theater in NYC. Absolutely loved the movie and the storyline. Just too bad it didn't make it to more theaters so my friends could see it! If you get a chance to somehow watch it, I would definitely make the effort!
