Dropstones Trailers

After leaving an abusive husband, Sonya returns to Fogo Island, a place and way of life she previously could not wait to escape. Now, working as a server at a fancy tourist hotel, she is raising her two sons alone, back where she started. Filmed against magnificent backdrops and stunning vistas, Dropstones captures a year in the life of a family pulling together to weather snowstorms, first jobs and family barbecues. As the matriarch of the family, Sonya's mission to raise Luke and Sean as "two good men" proves difficult at times, especially when balancing the demands of a seasonal job with single parenting. Despite the many high-pitched arguments, Sonya takes the time to show affection and love to her boys, always ready to listen to Sean's recommended technology upgrades and Luke's school woes. A coming-of-age story that takes the time to connect to place, identity and tradition.

Reviews
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
