In this heartwarming story inspired by an extraordinary true friendship, lonely Lily Trevino (Barbie Ferreira) "friends" a man on social media she believes is her father, Robert. Desperate to reconnect after a falling-out, she instead finds Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo). Bob discerns Lily needs a friend as much as he does, and their blossoming connection becomes a vital source of healing for both. Winner of 13 audience awards, Bob Trevino Likes It proves the healing power of friendship and a chosen family.
"Bob Trevino Likes It is one of those modest independent dramedies that are surprisingly funny, moving, and powerful, also based on true events. Inspired by director Tracie Laymon’s experiences, the film follows Lily Trevino (Euphoria's Barbie Ferreira), a young woman raised in neglect: abandoned by a drug-addicted mother as a child, she was left in the care of a self-centered and unwilling father, Bob Trevino (French Stewart). After a trivial argument, Lily tries to reconnect with him but accidentally connects on Facebook with another Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo). Together, they form an unexpected father-daughter bond that helps Lily grow and Bob heal an old wound. Bob Trevino Likes It may not be visually ambitious, but its honesty and emotional depth, fueled by an authentic script and Barbie Ferreira’s vulnerable performance, will surprise and move you."
