- Entertainment:
This movie, while presenting a touching story of friendship, occasionally struggles with pacing and predictability in its plot. The performances of Barrymore and Collette are commendable, providing depth to their characters. The film’s portrayal of serious themes is handled with sensitivity, yet it lacks the cinematic flair to elevate it beyond a conventional drama. It’s a suitable choice for those who appreciate stories of human connections and resilience in the face of adversity.
