Minor spoilers... imdb has this as released in 2017... roku has as 2018.
When ben (harris) finds out he doesn't have much time left, he has his son matt (sudeikis) drive him across country to develop the last rolls of kodachrome film. With his nurse (elizabeth olsen ). But ben is old, bitter, and ornery, and cusses at everybody. And insults everyone within earshot, including his brother. Ben is so mean and nasty, he fires the nurse. Then the son gets fired from his job. And they had just been having a discussion about how fleeting digital photography is... at least with paper photos, there's something to see, hold, and feel, for many years to come. The whole film is symbolic of how fleeting life is. There is a lesson learned...when ben does pass away, it turns out many of the world's photographers are also here, and they all knew and respected ben. A bit of a surprise ... it was a side of ben that matt never knew. Small role for dennis haysbert, the allstate insurance guy. This gets better as it goes along. Starts out kind of hokey, but really gets good about halfway through. Original idea from an article about the actual end of film developing in the new york times.
