“It sure is.”

From End of Sentence.

After losing his wife, Anna (Andrea Irvine), to cancer, Frank (John Hawkes) finds himself faced with the difficult job of fulfilling her last wish of scattering her ashes in Ireland. Another request that Anna made was that Frank take their adult son, Sean (Logan Lerman), with him once he’s released from prison. While Sean was close with his mother, he is extremely hateful and bitter towards his father, so Sean refuses to go until Frank promises to pay him and stay out of his life forever after that. The brazen, young car thief is clearly at odds with the quiet and reserved Frank, and their trip across the world only amplifies the animosity between the two. When they arrive in Ireland, Frank learns some things from Anna’s past that makes him question their live together, but he continues to move forward in honoring her last wishes anyway. After meeting the attractive Jewel (Sarah Bolger) at the bar, Sean convinces Frank they should give her a ride. Driving across Ireland to find the specific lake where Anna requested to be laid to rest tests both Frank and Sean as they try to find endure each other’s company long enough to complete their task. However, when their car is stolen with Anna’s ashes still in the back seat, the estranged father and son quickly unite to find her ashes before is too late. Plagued by reminders of the hurt and hatred of the past, the closer Frank and Sean get to the lake, the more the two realize that they both hold pain that is more similar than they ever realized.

This movie is somber and intense are times, yet filled with enough gentle humor and heart to keep viewers engaged. Hawkes and Lerman perfectly portray their polar opposite characters in every scene. End of Sentence manages to take some heavy topics and present them in a way that is genuinely honest and memorable.
