Starbuck is a French Canadian film my parents and I watched recently.
The premise seemed far-fetched and a rather silly, but it turned out to be a surprisingly touching story of a man discovering what being family, and a father, means. The characters were interesting and multidimensional. There was humor, but there was also realness and honesty. I wished for more details on a few plot points — even a couple lines to clear up certain mysteries — but I could forgive those things because leaving them out didn’t detract from telling the main story of “Starbuck’s” journey.
Overall, I would highly recommend giving it a viewing.
