The Fundamentals of Caring

A poster with a lime green background features three main characters: Paul Rudd stands solemnly with his hands in his pockets, facing left; a teenage boy in a wheelchair (played by Craig Roberts) turns slightly to look at a young woman (Selena Gomez), who stands with arms crossed, gazing right. The title is in large, playful script: “The Fundamentals of Caring,” with the tagline “Caring is a funny thing.” The film is branded as a Netflix Original and premiered at Sundance.
