Chris L It's exceedingly difficult to tell a story that is, at once, a coming-of-age yarn and an end-of-life tale. SIBWC pulls off that nifty feat with plenty of bitter-sweet heart and feel-good charm to spare. A delightfully curious confection; like a chocolate-chili or carrot-cardamom cake that shouldn't work, but somehow does. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Izabella A I was pleasantly surprised, i thought this was going to be just another movie without depth. I related to it, and it brought out complex feelings with laughter and tears. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Micaela M No movie has any right to be this freaking sad, cried so hard I had a migraine the next morning, overall amazing though Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Justine 3 I haven’t cried to a movie since I was like 8 years old, but when I tell you I SOBBED to this movie, I truly did. Something about it really struck a chord with me. The portrayal of the different relationships in this film and how the two main characters were able to grow from them was absolutely beautiful. I thought the acting was raw, and the cinematography was great. Overall, it was an amazing movie that I was not expecting to love as much as I did. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Jane H You get the idea from reading the plot summary but also: Women get to struggle with their lives without men being the determining factor, all the characters are nuanced but forgivable, acting is great and Bette Midler plays a great Bette Midler role so I guess that is big up the casting director. Yes obviously it is sad but there is growth and some positivety. I think it has a much more realistic view of having cancer than I have ever seen in a movie. So some laughs some tears some highs some lows. Its a powerful woman centred film about difficult stuff and fun stuff. Totally engaging great acting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Ashley H just beautiful. the story, the cakes, the music, beautiful. And the fact that it's based on a real story, makes it so much better than it already is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
