Measure of a Man

Measure of a Man (2018) is an American coming-of-age drama directed by Jim Loach — watch it online on iFILM.

Fifteen-year-old Brendan is used to being the target. Overweight and out of place, he takes a summer job at a resort camp where the social rules are just as brutal as anywhere else. Donald Sutherland plays his grandfather — a man who doesn't say much, but what he says lands. Luke Wilson and Judy Greer play his parents, and Blake Cooper carries the film on his shoulders in a performance that never tips into self-pity.

Jim Loach keeps the scale deliberately small: no dramatic arc, just a summer of small choices that quietly add up. The tagline — "sometimes we have to fall down to grow up" — turns out to be literally true here. Stream Measure of a Man (2018) online on iFILM.
