Some trailers plunge you right in like a storm gone wild. Others move like a quiet tide, pulling you in before you even realise you’ve been swept away. I Wish You All The Best falls into the latter. Gentle, aching, and deeply human. It doesn’t chase spectacle. It offers something more vulnerable, truth. In just under two minutes, this trailer speaks to anyone who’s ever felt the sting of rejection… and the slow, beautiful balm of being seen.
The trailer opens with silence, a soft, aching silence. A bedroom, a suitcase and a truth that won’t stay hidden anymore. “I Wish You All The Best” breathes, trembles and waits for you to lean in close before it tells you something that’ll stay with you long after the credits roll.
Directed with haunting intimacy, the film is based on Mason Deaver’s bestselling novel and follows Ben, a non-binary teen who comes out to his parents… and is immediately kicked out. That moment isn’t dramatised for effect, it’s delivered with an almost unbearable stillness, like a wound being quietly opened.
Hannah is played by Alexandra Daddario , who is the estranged older sister of Ben Debecker’s (Corey Fogelmanis). Their reunion is tender, messy, and real. The trailer lets us feel their healing journey in half-glances, unfinished sentences, and car rides where the silence says more than words ever could.
Then there’s Nathan (Miles Gutierrez Riley), charismatic, warm and a little chaotic. The kind of person who makes you believe in safe spaces again. Their friendship blooms with restraint, never rushing into romance, giving us something even more rare, recognition, a mirror and a sanctuary. You can almost feel the weight lift off Ben’s shoulders as Nathan asks simply, “You okay?” Not as a formality. But like he means it.
This isn’t just a coming-of-age story. It’s a coming-into-yourself story. Quiet resilience. Chosen family. The delicate, defiant act of existing when the world doesn’t have a place for you yet. The trailer just lays out the bare truth and dares you to feel something. You will definitely need tissues, tenderness and maybe someone who needs to hear: “I see you. I believe you. I wish you all the best.”
Geek Verdict:
I Wish You All The Best delivers a trailer that is as tender as it is powerful. A masterclass in emotional restraint. It doesn’t rely on dramatic crescendos or flashy storytelling. Instead, it earns its impact through quiet authenticity, raw performances, and the kind of sincerity that lingers.
