Dreamin' Wild.

An old record gives two brothers a very unexpected second act.

Donnie and Joe Emerson have long since put aside the album they made as teenagers when a record enthusiast helps it find a new audience. The attention offers another chance to perform, but Donnie struggles with the distance between youthful promise and his life today. Rehearsing with his brother brings both the family’s support and the cost of their earlier ambitions back into view.

Why it’s a little special

A music drama that looks beyond sudden success to ask how siblings, parents and partners carry a shared dream through disappointment.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The official US PG rating cites language and thematic elements. Financial strain, regret, family tension and adult disappointment shape the story; there are arguments and some drinking. Its reflective pace and focus on middle-aged musicians may engage older children and teens more than younger viewers.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
