Critics Consensus

Four Good Days struggles to bring authenticity to its tragic source material and strands its talent in a bland melodrama.

Read Critics Reviews

Mary Lou

True life, how one suffering from substance abuse lose everything to the disease. It takes over the mind. The family struggles, disconnects, separate get mad, fear don't understand and blame themselves. Think its their fault they are that way. Family need supports and never lose hope. Because miracles can happen.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this shallow movie is left unexplored: why doesn't Deb look in the mirror at her role in Molly's addiction?

It is a couple of good performances in a movie that feels like we have seen it a thousand times before.

Ready Steady Cut

Four Good Days treats addiction in an intelligent way, has two good performances, but pulls the ripcord on a more daring ending.
