Flag Day

Based on a true story and directed by Sean Penn, Flag Day stars Penn and his real-life daughter Dylan Penn in an intimate family portrait. Jennifer Vogel’s father John was larger than life; As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and ability to make life feel like a grand adventure. He taught her so much about love and joy…but he also happened to be the most notorious counterfeiter in US history. Flag Day follows Jennifer as she struggles to rise above the wreckage of her past while reconciling the inescapable bond between a daughter and her father.

"A solid, subtle drama"
Steve Pond, TheWrap
"As a director, [Penn] knows how to bring the horsepower. And so it proves in this very watchable and well-made family drama."
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
