The Test

With complexity, bravery, and dry humor The Test details the frustrating push and pull between Pat and her eighty-year-old father who is attempting, for the third and last time, to pass the test to renew his driver’s license. Bryant’s unflinching gaze sees deep into the hearts of both parent and child, revealing the dramatic, awkward, and universal struggle each faces with aging, memory, and love. In a deeply sensitive, thoughtful, and honest examination of one woman’s coping with the changes of aging, Bryant offers a rare and moving testimony.
