  "account": "Reggie Absolom stars as Arlo, a 10-year-old boy brought to New York City by Peter, a self-indulgent party promoter played by Jordan Firstman. The plot unfolds when Edison (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), a woman Peter has sex with during an ambiguous night ten years prior, arrives at Peter's doorstep with Arlo, claiming him as his son. Despite initial reluctance and a sense of being unprepared for fatherhood, Peter finds himself growing into the role and forming a connection with the bright, open-hearted Arlo. The film, directed by Firstman and produced by A24, is a surprisingly touching exploration of fatherhood, with a young cast led by Absolom's natural performance.",
