Plots(1)
Henry (Jason Sudeikis) and Penny (Jessica Biel) are a New Orleans couple very much in love, until tragedy strikes and Henry is forced to rebuild. Quite literally, it turns out. After he befriends a tough street teen (Maisie Williams), he helps her construct the raft she'll use to sail across the Atlantic in search of her long lost father. (Tribeca Film Festival)

A nice, honest movie about people whose life, under various circumstances, became hell and they are trying to get out of that mess. If only they didn’t try to get out of it in such a stupid way as in the form of a raft which became a focus point of the whole film. However, it is well done, emotional and the cast was so great that this was the main reason I finished watching the movie.

A very pleasant feel-good bite, which unfairly fell into the vast HBO library and as can be seen in the local database, not many people found their way to the film. And I recommend it just because of the fantastic Maisie Williams.
But what surprised me the most was the great melancholic (unvocalized!) music, which constantly outlined such a dreamy story, and I would never have expected it to be from Justin Timberlake. I'll see if it's listenable on its own.
