Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 01/25/2020
This is a very uneven mix of sombre drama about grief and wacky comedy about redemption, and it doesn't really find its stride until halfway through... It's kind of lovely, but it takes a long time to get there. Go to Full Review
Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) 01/25/2020
It's wildly erratic in tone. It needed to pick a lane and stay in that lane. Go to Full Review
Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 01/24/2020
Jiménez's script is often charming and funny, but it lacks the precision and specificity that make the best films about sad-sack protagonists stand out. Go to Full Review
Asia Frey Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) 01/20/2021
A wistful misadventure, a quiet but authentic story of personal growth. Go to Full Review

Lee Z Nov 6 Complete lack of fulfilling endings for any character involved. Sometimes, there's a sad ending, but this was just... nothing. The events ended. The antagonist doesn't get comeuppance. The victims don't get what they wanted, at least not in the spiritual sense. And as for Parker Posey, who some people seem to glow on about... why? She's had so much plastic surgery at this point that she literally cannot emote anymore. That's not me being snide or hateful, it is just a fact. The only face she can make is resting and smiling, and all of the nuance of motion an actor or actress can have is gone, because her aging skin is pulled taut over her face like cling film. It was so horribly distracting every time she was in a scene. So, so hard to just watch her talk. Please, can our society get over this level of plastic surgery? Just age gracefully. You're going to get wrinkles. You're going to sag. Don't make yourself look like an alien trying to fight it, it is SO MUCH WORSE. See more X O 05/05/2023 What a great film. Parker Posey is always so good. She really knows how to project a character. She is so underrated. I found her in her Hal Hartley movies. She's so good. It's why I watched this film. The twist at 30min when the idiot isn't fucking thinkimg could've been done away with as the film doesn't need it, but the acting is fantastic. No melodrama. Really well executed comic quirkiness. Mostly. Parker Posey's character is so strong. That stupid idiot really fucked up. And moss is really astonishing. See more tom m 12/25/2021 Decent. The main character's long grieving process was a bit hard to believe and a little annoying, but the rest of the story was okay. See more 05/01/2021 This film grew on me. I ended up loving it. The performances are excellent and the story is quite good. See more 04/19/2021 I thought this movie was a fantastic piece of work. I'm not sure where the fools at the Tomatometer are coming from with some of the reviews, but this movie was superb. The reviews/critics are wrong on this for a 17%. That's just bogus. This is a must-see. Very dramatic, funny, off the wall, different, spontaneous, and well worth the watch. I give it a 5 star. Easily worth your time. I'd suggest it highly. See more 02/21/2021 I liked the movie. Not a typical ending, but one that is more likely to happen in life. Lovely scenery and good music See more Read all reviews
