‘Sacramento’ Review: A Charming Exploration Of Anxiety, Friendship, And Fatherhood – Tribeca Festival


In Michael Angarano’s Sacramento, a heartfelt comedy-drama, the journey of self-discovery takes center stage.

The film opens with a light, almost idyllic scene: Rickey (Angarano) sunbathing by a lake, only to be interrupted by Tallie’s ( Maya Erskine) cheerful call. Speaking of Angarano, his direction leans heavily into the indie film aesthetic—simple settings, rich character development, and a focus on the subtleties of human interaction. Its examination of strained friendships, the fear of inadequacy in impending fatherhood, and the importance of mental health conversations are handled with a good balance of care and humor.
