How to Grow Up Despite Your Parents

"How to Grow Up Despite Your Parents" (2016) is an Italian family drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Luca Lucini puts Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Margherita Buy and Matthew Modine in the roles of parents who are absolutely certain they know best.

The film's premise is about competitive parenting taken to its logical extreme: adults who dispute teachers' grades, question curricula and insert themselves into every decision — all while believing they're helping. Leonardo Cecchi, Saul Nanni and Beatrice Vendramin play the teenagers caught in the middle, trying to grow up in spite of all that good intention. It's a warm film, lightly ironic, without the sharp edges of a satire. Stream "How to Grow Up Despite Your Parents" online on iFILM.
