Find Me

A small film with big impact. A couple of colleagues in an accounting office become friends. One is the stereotypical accountant who is good at his job, but not really passionate about it (or anything). He senses that he is in a life rut, but isn't aware that he is sensing this. The other is a young accountant who jokes around with him during break and becomes maybe his only friend. She is adventurous in her travels and in her enthusiasm for life. When she disappears and is found to have embezzled some money from the firm, he is really confused. And then he gets a note that says 'Find Me' with some geo-coordinates. He follows and gets taken on a life changing tour of some of her favorite spots in National Parks in the west. Throughout the journey, the friendship thrives as her voiceover continues to challenge him and tell more of her story, simultaneous with his self discovery. And while I began to get a sense of the endgame, it continued to be effective and emotional, caring about both characters to the end.
4 stars (out of 5)
