Let Him Go (2020)
In the '60s, Margaret and George lose their adult son in an accident. When their daughter-in-law remarries and suddenly moves away without warning, they set off to find her and their grandson.
Although there were a couple of "no way -- really??" moments, I was generally on-board with everything in this movie. What resonated the most for me was Margaret's refusal to stop, even when she was hurting rather than helping. Her passion for family just trumped everything in her path: her husband's objections, real danger and a lack of help from law enforcement. It felt honest and, consequently, powerful.
