Steve D The actors do their best (and there best is great) but the lack of script makes it drag a bit. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Kelly O Welcome back to the big screen Elliot Page. What a triumph to see him in the way he wants to be in a role about the same. Family is tough for a lot of is for many different reasons. Family will never really let you escape who you were. Everyone is committed to the same history and being frozen in time. Hillary Baack is amazing too. Her character Kat is genuinely happy to meet Sam how he is now, with no expectations of who he was nor who they were in high school Beautiful story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Honest and real from start to finish. This film isn't for spectators looking to be passively entertained. It's for viewers brave enough to plunge headfirst into the rawest of emotions and enmesh themselves in the discomfort that's invoked. There's quite a bit of subtlety and nuance that may be lost on some, but for me, the most valuable takeaways came from points in the film where there was no need for dialogue. It reminds you how even the quietest walks home can be the loudest. If you let it, the film speaks to you via sensations in the body like that all-too-familiar heavy knot sinking in your gut, or the sharp spike in heartrate that only the sting of deep disappointment can bring. This film invites you to merge with the lead character and see the world through their unique perspective. Despite being from a different end of the spectrum or walk of life than the person on-screen, I found myself capable of understanding the unspoken contents of their mind and relating to the emotions they were struggling to process or repress. Somewhere in this, I found my perspective shifted and a mirror had been placed in front of me and I could not look away. Elliot's performance made this possible. He brings an unparalleled authenticity that's like an outpouring of the most private and sacred parts of himself, willing to put it all on display because it's important. This film has a power that shouldn't be undervalued or dismissed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Aech Such a raw and honest film and makes you sit in all the messiness of it. I wish there had been more time on the family because I was confused sometimes about who someone was, but that barely took away from the emotional arc for me. Well acted, well shot, and a haunting piano refrain in the score. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Steph B Valid performances with a worthwhile message, although somewhat predictable and contrived. Still, an important film for our time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Grazielle B What an incredible script, absolutely love this movie!
