The Ballad of Wallis Island

Matt reviews (and really likes) "The Ballad of Wallis Island" which follows a reclusive cartographer who is sent to a remote Pacific island to update outdated maps, only to uncover a hidden history and a community determined to preserve its secrets. As his professional detachment unravels, he must confront his own past and choose between duty and the quiet truths that bind people to place. This movie, "sticks the landing," Matt said.
