Donn A @RT58687407 Sep 7, 2026 got some cute parts but the ridiculous premise was not handled well See more Par H @Parhwy Feb 25, 2026 This review contains significant spoilers and strong themes… It has been a long, long time since a film genuinely threw in a twist which blew my mind. And this film did it not with plot, it did it with genre. Let me explain… I thought this film was going to be a quirky, folksy smalltown American tale about a kid with a fantastical medical condition who falls in love. My notes reflect that for the first half. At that point, I even started to extrapolate. I usually live in the moment in most films. I hoped that Max’s and Erica’s timelines merge and resolve. I had reservations when Max and Erica had an It’s A Wonderful Life moment… I kept on viewing thinking, hoping this will be a quirky, folksy film. Fair warning: this film breaks your heart, and it touches on suicide, dementia, murder, and euthanasia. This is a good film. Just… wow. Rewatch? No. Should you watch it? Yes. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 25, 2025 Love this movie. Emotional too. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Feb 14, 2024 While the dark humor may not suit well for some, also bruised by a pointless plot point looking for an additional comedic outlet for unnecessary lightened balance, it sets the satirical tone over teenage health complications cinematically depicted and emotionally absorbed, which its charismatic pair sweetly excelled. (B) See more Alex C @RT82897175 Sep 2, 2023 For me, the premise didn't really work. Too far fetched. The acting was good, slow at times. I would skip this, confused to why the score is high. See more Sean M @RT90866493 Apr 11, 2023 Wow that was actually really good! Very underrated movie. Well directed and acted. A bit sad though as it deals with loss. Would highly recommend!
