Summary
Award-winning director Nicholas Ma joins The Jan Price Show All About Movies to discuss his heartfelt debut feature, " Mabel ." The film follows Callie (Lexi Perkel), a bright and unconventional young girl whose deep love of plants and botany sets her apart from those around her. Struggling to adjust after her family relocates and facing the challenges of adolescence, Callie unexpectedly finds inspiration through substitute teacher Ms. G (Judy Greer), whose botany lessons spark both scientific curiosity and emotional growth. Warm, funny, and deeply human, Mabel explores identity, friendship, family, and the healing power of nature through the eyes of a uniquely compelling protagonist. Set against themes of discovery and resilience, the film offers an uplifting and thoughtful coming-of-age journey. 🎥 Watch the trailer 🎬 Streaming now on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video & Fandango at Home 🎧 More episodes Hosted on Acast.
