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.

It's wildly erratic in tone. It needed to pick a lane and stay in that lane.

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.

A wistful misadventure, a quiet but authentic story of personal growth.

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

I liked the movie. Not a typical ending, but one that is more likely to happen in life. Lovely scenery and good music
