Fatherhood

ComedyDrama109 min

After his wife dies soon after their daughter’s birth, a new father is left to manage grief, sleepless nights, and the daily work of raising a baby on his own. Kevin Hart anchors the story as a parent learning by trial and error, often under the watch of family, friends, and strangers who all have opinions about how he’s doing. Melody Hurd is the little girl at the center of it all, with Alfre Woodard and Lil Rel Howery among the people orbiting their makeshift routine. Inspired by a true story, the film stays close to the small emergencies and hard-won milestones of early parenthood.
