  • Netflix’s latest original film, "Like Father", marks the feature directorial debut of Lauren Miller Rogen. It’s a dramedy addressing the detrimental impact of a life dissociated from others. A concept like this requires a balancing act of writing, acting, and direction to make it evocative and Miller Rogen proves herself adept at managing each piece. It certainly helps that Like Father is led by Kristen Bell ("The Good Place") and Kelsey Grammer ("Frasier"), whose chemistry together makes the pair of complex characters they portray immediately convincing and worthy of investment. Though "Like Father" is likely not to be a breakout hit for the streaming juggernaut, it does offer a strong statement for Miller Rogen as a feature director.
