Outside In (2017)

Jack and I liked this story of an ex-con struggling in his return to freedom and his relationship with his high school teacher. Jay Duplass and Edie Falco are the leads with Kaitlyn Dever as Falco's daughter.

Director Lynn Shelton, who died of a blood disorder at 54 during lockdown last year, co-wrote the script with Duplass. Some have called it a comedy. It's not, but still good.

Andrew Bird composed the soundtrack, which is not available to stream.

Shot in Washington state, there's a lot of rain.

Duplass was last blogged for Landline, Falco for The Land of Steady Habits, Dever for Coastal Elites, and Shelton for Sword of Trust.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics are averaging a liberated 95% but its audiences are more confined at only 76. 

We watched it on Netflix on September 5.
