Hearts Beat Loud

In Hearts Beat Loud (2018), the summer before Sam Fisher (Kiersey Clemons) is set to move across the country to attend UCLA's pre-med program, her widower father, Frank (Nick Offerman), is shaken up by less exciting life changes: His record store is going out of business, his mother's (Blythe Danner) dementia is worsening, and his nest is about to be completely empty. While Sam wants to focus on all things medicine, Frank wants her to embrace her musical DNA (Frank and his late wife were recording artists). During their father-daughter "jam sesh," Frank records their original song and secretly uploads it to a music streaming service; the track quickly gains popularity and opens doors to a music career. In the meantime, Sam starts a romantic relationship with a young woman named Rose (Sasha Lane) and must decide whether she should pursue a college degree all alone on the West Coast or stay in New York with her girlfriend and follow her parents' dream, which just might be hers, too.
