Road to Galena, The

[Opens July 8 in theaters and on various VOD platforms.] After an ambitious Georgetown-educated attorney (Ben Winchell), who grew up in Maryland with his banker father (Jay O. Sanders) and cancer-afflicted mother (Jill Hennessy), takes a job at a high-powered law firm run by a no-nonsene managing partner (Margaret Colin) in Washington, D.C., marries a trial lawyer (Alisa Allapach), and becomes highly successful in Joe Hall's moving, realistic, down-to-earth, well-written, bittersweet, predictable, 113-minute film, he becomes disillusioned and wonders about what it really means to be fulfilled and what small-town life would have been like when he sees his best friend (Will Brittain) marry his girlfriend (Aimee Teegarden) and eventually struggle with vicissitudes of life and unending challenges while running a large farming operation and raising two daughters.
