A Nebraskan family reunion couldn’t seem more backwards to a Californian teenager. If Ryder (Logan Miller) had his way, he’d choose a moment just like this to show his conservative relatives his true colors, the bigger the scene the better. For the sake of his fond mother (Robin Weigert), however, Ryder agrees to keep quiet, save parading around the picnic in his most audacious pair of short-shorts.
Ryder’s antics raise dubious eyebrows from his hardened cowboy relatives, but 9-year-old Molly (Ursula Parker, “Louie”) can’t get enough. She follows her cool California cousin everywhere. After lunch, they walk to the barn to look for a bird’s nest in the rafters. Their strange encounter, and whatever happened while the two escaped their family’s watchful eyes, makes Ryder the sudden target of suspicion, and places him at the center of a long buried family secret. Miller gives an outstanding, sensitive performance as the troubled teen.
“Take Me to the River,” written and directed by Matt Sobel, has an exclusive engagement and opens Friday, April 22 at Landmark’s Ken Cinema, located at 4061 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116. It is Not Yet Rated and is 84 minutes long.
Molly (Ursula Parker) and Ryder (Logan Miller) share a heartfelt conversation in “Take Me to the River.”
