Father-daughter duo Ethan and Maya Hawke have teamed up for this arty, offbeat biopic of American author Flannery O’Connor, with Hawke Sr. directing and co-writing and Hawke Jr. starring and producing. The now-obligatory ‘nepo baby’ accusations are dulled somewhat by the Hawkes’ assertions that it was Maya who took the material to her parents (stepmother Ryan also produces). Plus, if an established star really wanted to give their offspring an unfair advantage in their field, there are far more commercial routes that could’ve been exploited than this knotty, unconventional material.
