Hal & Harper

🏆Best actress award for Lili Reinhart, International Competition, Series Mania 2025

Two siblings try to preserve their childhood even though their single father forces them to grow up too fast.

Our take

The very first series from the new voice of American indie films Cooper Raiff (Shithouse, Cha Cha Real Smooth) summons the ghosts of its characters’ past and delivers a surprisingly bittersweet family coming-of-age. Joined onscreen by the talented Lili Reinhart (Riverdale) in a remarkable brother-sister duo, and Mark Ruffalo (I Know This Much is True, Spotlight) as a father consumed by guilt, Raiff once again proves his brilliance and his knack for capturing absurd situations and deeply human characters and stories.
