Don't Make Me Go

[Available July 15 on Amazon Prime Video.] Hannah Marks' award-winning, touching, poignant, bittersweet, coming-of-age, heartbreaking, unpredictable, 109-minute film punctuated by a surprise ending in which a caring, karaoke-singing father (John Cho), who occasionally secretly hooks up with a French teacher (Kaya Scodelario), in California learns that he has a fatal bone tumor on his brainstem and decides to take his feisty, 15-year-old daughter (Mia Isaac), who is attracted to a hunky high school student (Otis Dhanji), on a cross-country road trip to New Orleans for his 20th high school reunion and then on to Florida to find her estranged mother (Jen Van Epps) who left him for his friend (Jemaine Clement) years earlier and to impart as many of life's wisdoms and lessons as possible in the time he has left.
