“I Wish You All the Best” began life as a 2019 book by author Mason Deaver, who wanted to tell a story about a nonbinary character finding their way through their teenage years, facing all sorts of difficulties and doubt during a tumultuous time. Writer/director Tommy Dorfman attempts to translate literary ideas into a movie, and one capable of understanding the specificity of the topic and the universal feelings that orbit it. “I Wish You All the Best” is tender and gentle, handling ideas on a life lived freely with compassion as the main character seeks to better understand themselves. Dorfman delivers a sensitive picture about adolescent and familial concerns, and while the dramatic flow of the material isn’t always steady, there’s a lot here to appreciate, including approachable tone and invested performances.
