People, Places, Things (2015)
Overview
People, Places, Things follows Will Henry, a graphic novelist and college instructor who gets dumped and then has to figure out single fatherhood, a new romantic interest, and a classroom full of students, more or less simultaneously. The Neutral label fits because the film does not push a cultural agenda so much as it sits with the ordinary mess of modern adult life. The family structure leans slightly progressive, centering co-parenting and post-divorce adjustment as the normal backdrop rather than a problem to solve. But the story stays personal rather than political. No strong signals pull hard in either direction, leaving a low-key romantic comedy about a man who needs to grow up a little.
