Set in 1973 and inspired by true events, 'Wild About Harry' follows the havoc wreaked in a teen girl’s life when she discovers that her widowed father is gay. Alternately comic and tragic and anchored by an impressive ensemble cast, the film captures both the freedoms and the homophobia of the time – all set against the backdrop of small town America on Cape Cod. British widower Harry Goodhart decides to make a fresh start and moves with his teenage daughters to Cape Cod in 1973. But Harry can't leave behind the secret that threatens to tear his family apart. Adjusting to their new lives proves difficult for the girls when they discover that the connection between their dad and his partner is more than just a working relationship.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its drama on the collision between a father's private truth and the rigid norms of a 1970s small town. It explores not just homophobia, but the seismic aftershocks within a family when its foundation is suddenly questioned.

What lingers after the credits is a poignant sense of the personal cost of authenticity. The performances ensure the story feels specific yet universally resonant. — MovieFinder Editorial
