"(1992) This follows a single mom and her 12-year-old son as they navigate life in 1969 Key West, Florida, after their husband and father abandons them due to his war experiences. I loved CrissCross! The film's unique narrative voice, told from the boy's perspective, adds a layer of authenticity to the story. Goldie Hawn shines as the struggling single mom, bringing her signature warmth and wit to the role. What impresses me most is the film's thoughtful exploration of complex themes, like the impact of war on families and growing up. It's a poignant and nostalgic film that's definitely worth checking out… especially if you're a fan of coming-of-age stories or Goldie Hawn. 7/10
