Cinemalogue

Dormer’s committed portrayal helps fill in some contextual gaps in the film, which leans into Evans’ idealism yet doesn’t rely on cheap sentiment.

Next Best Picture

The film has a lot going on, in addition to the incredibly emotional themes of fatal pediatric cancer. Thankfully, director Ami Canaan Mann is able to balance the somber elements with the lighthearted ones.

Learning (apparently) how the Staging of Cancer was first created- very interesting as we sometimes forget how complex problems were solved before modern computing became available. The acting was also commendable.
