Twelve-year-old Lil Ant (Bodhi Dell) struggles to connect with his father when he begins to see surreal, almost spectral visions of boys drifting around his neighborhood. Big Ant (Alphonse Nicholson) is just out of Pr*son and struggling to reconcile with his wife, Lozita (Brooks), and Lil Ant, a sensitive artist yearning for a role model. Adapted from his acclaimed short, which won the Short Film Jury Award at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Thompson-Hernández audaciously combines social and magical realism, charting the emotional trajectory of a conflicted dad and his restless son.If I Go Will They Miss Me debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, and recently won the award for Best Feature Film at the 2026 Martha’s Vineyard African-American Film Festival.About Everybody a Critic:Everybody a Critic is a collective of four DMV-based movie lovers.
