Pheobe F Where Did the Adults Go? hit me harder than I expected. It’s quiet, uncomfortable in the best way, and feels like you’re eavesdropping on a family trying to hold itself together. The film never pushes for big melodrama — it lets the silence and small looks do the talking. The writing is sharp, but what really stands out is the direction: it feels lived-in, patient, and painfully honest about what it means to grow up and realize your parents were just people trying their best. There’s this undercurrent of loss and maybe even tenderness that stays with you after it ends. The performances feel raw, especially in the moments where nothing “happens". It reminded me of early Linklater mixed with the emotional precision of Manchester by the Sea. This is the kind of film that sneaks up on you. It’s small, but it lingers. You might not cry during it, but you’ll find yourself thinking about your own family on the drive home. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Jeff F Really loved this one! Solid filmmaking and stellar performances that felt real and totally relatable. I hope more people will see this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Mark G Great performances, especially from Carson MacCormac. I was thoroughly intrigued, easier to see how the siblings would work through their relationships. Then it suddenly stopped. I actually rewound the movie to see if there was a glitch and I missed something. I didn't. Way too many unresolved situations. Hidden money...hospital outcome...relationships...the path forward totally unclear. Disappointing ending, to the extreme.
