About Scout is a coming-of-age drama film that was released in 2015. The movie revolves around a troubled girl named Scout who is on a journey to find her little sister, Lulu. India Ennenga plays Scout, who is struggling with the death of her mother and being abandoned by her father. When her father decides to move to Europe for work, he asks Scout to take care of Lulu.

Scout is worried about taking care of Lulu, as she is not sure she can handle the responsibility. She sets out on her journey with her best friend, Sam (played by Onata Aprile), and her long-time crush, Ben (played by James Frecheville). The trio sets out on a road trip from Montana to California, where they believe Lulu is living with their Aunt.

The journey is not easy, and the trio faces numerous challenges along the way. Scout struggles with the responsibility of taking care of Lulu and feels like she is not doing a good job. She also struggles with her own emotions and finds it challenging to deal with the grief of losing her mother. Sam is dealing with issues of her own, as she is struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality. Ben, on the other hand, is dealing with the pain of unrequited love.

As the trio travels through different states, they encounter various characters, some of whom help them along the way, and others who are more of a hindrance. The movie explores themes of friendship, family, grief, and the challenges of growing up. The characters must learn to face their fears and overcome their struggles if they want to succeed in their quest to find Lulu.

The movie is well-acted, with strong performances from all the main cast members. India Ennenga is particularly impressive as Scout, expertly portraying the character's vulnerability and strength. James Frecheville and Onata Aprile also give solid performances, bringing depth and nuance to their respective characters.

The cinematography is beautiful, with stunning shots of the American countryside. The movie is set against a backdrop of wide-open spaces, which adds to the feeling of adventure and exploration. The soundtrack is also noteworthy, with a collection of indie folk tunes that perfectly capture the mood of the film.

In conclusion, About Scout is a moving and heartfelt movie that explores the complexities of adolescence and the challenges of growing up. It is a tender and nuanced look at the bond of friendship and the meaning of family. The movie is recommended for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking and emotionally resonant dramas.
