Plot

An estranged son travels back home to confront his overbearing father to see if there is any relationship left between them.

Sean, a retired literature professor and civic activist, writes a letter to his estranged son, Tennessee, a ranch hand. Tennessee is uncertain how to respond, but knowing he should see his aging father, he decides to go home. Tennessee arrives just as Nina, Sean's personal trainer fresh off a bad breakup, accepts Sean's offer to move in and help him write his memoirs. The tension between father and son is ever-present. As Sean and Nina work, Tennessee avoids his overbearing father with fix-up projects around the house. One evening after Nina has gone out, Sean and Tennessee find themselves alone in the house for the first time.

    Critical reception for The Frontier has been mixed and the film currently holds a rating of 40 on Metacritic (based on 4 reviews), indicating mixed or average reviews. The Hollywood Reporter and the Village Voice both panned the film overall, with the Village Voice commenting that the arguing between Gail and Kelly's characters made things a bit too tense, stating that "Things improve considerably once both they and the film as a whole mellow out, as Rabinowitz handles reconciliation better than conflict, but the reprieve is short-lived."
