RECONCILIATION is a groundbreaking, provocative story about an estranged father and son struggling to overcome the heartbreaking consequences of their past. Grant Taylor (Eric Nenninger) has been troubled by intense childhood memories ever since his wife, Sara (Chelsey Crisp), gave him the exciting news..."You are going to be a dad!" As fatherhood nears, Grant privately wrestles with his embarrassment and anger toward his own father. His memories come to a head when Sara receives a call informing them that Grant's dad, Jeff (Jack Maxwell), is terminally ill and his last wish is to see his son. With Sara's encouragement, Grant reluctantly goes to see the man he disowned at his 10th birthday party, when he found out his father was gay. At the hospice, father and son confront the past as they come face to face for the first time in 16 years. Will Grant forgive his father for abandoning their family...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a painful, intimate chamber drama, relying on the raw, restrained performances of its leads to explore the archaeology of familial hurt. It avoids easy answers, focusing instead on the halting, fragile process of digging up long-buried resentments.

What lingers after the credits is the quiet ache of recognition and the faint, hard-won hope for healing. It’s a sobering look at the cost of silence and the courage required to break it. — MovieFinder Editorial
