SYNOPSIS
In The Kids Grow Up, director Doug Block turns his camera away from his parents to look at his own family, offering an exceptionally moving film about his relationship with his only child, Lucy. This film chronicles Lucy’s emotionally-fraught last year at home before leaving for college. Moving seamlessly between past, present, and the fast-approaching future, Block has not only crafted a loving portrait of a girl transitioning into womanhood, but also a deeply poignant look at parenting and what it means to let go.
