Set in the small Montana town of Anaconda, writer/director Annabelle Attanasio’s feature debut Mickey and the Bear takes pride in its authenticity. She was given a grant to conduct “ethnographic and visual research” into the community there so she could better understand its veteran population and close-knit history of helping each other cope with re-assimilation under increased financial, emotional, and psychological duress. Everybody knows everybody—a fact Attanasio uses to create a complex situational bubble around her lead character Mickey Peck (Camila Morrone). This is a teen facing the formidable crossroad of adolescence and adulthood. Smart, resourceful, and compassionate, she has the ability to escape via college if she can force herself to leave a veteran father (James Badge Dale’s Hank) who can’t be left alone.
Mickey’s position is hardly unique, but that shouldn’t discount the struggles she must confront to deal with it.
