As someone who has lost a father this film's topic hits home. I got sucked in because of the relatable moments and appreciated the close reality. Unfortunately it became a movie at the end which ultimately washed away every relatable aspect of the film and frankly made me angry. They try to recapture the aspects of grief in the very end but I'm left puzzled and baffled. Maybe that's the point or maybe people about to lose a parent are the audience, but why use cinema to drop a fantasy right at the climax of a very real film. It creates a false hope for how it all ends, in the end, even if it has an ideal projection. Onward was a fantasy that relied on magic, this one made a point to be real and masterfully used the craft, acting, and story to create an actual family to relate to, until it uses the craft, acting, and story against you.

I felt like there was no real plot. The acting was good, but I never understood why the 3 daughters had conflicts or any of their back stories. It was really boring. I assume there was supposed to be some conflicts between the daughters but it was vague and never addressed. The lack of back story made it difficult to care about whatever issues the daughters had. Their father is dying and they have to deal with that together, but the movie never made it clear why the 3 daughters were estranged from each other. Without understanding their personal conflicts, it's hard to invest in the feelings they have about their father dying.

Personally I believe this movie is boring and slow. The actress Carrie Coons character seems as if she's reading from a script in each seen, speaking in a quick repetitive tone with not much acting involved nor expression. Coon is great in other movies but this one drags on.... I do love Natasha Lyons and her dry sense of humor and Olsen did a fine job. I do wish I could have watched to its entirety but this movie is just to slow and drone for me. A little something more would have kept me there. I do look forward to enjoying one of their other films in the future with high hopes.

5/10 Stacey.

As a retired palliative care nurse I found this movie to be very frustrating in the portrayal of hospice and end of life. It had so much more potential. The ending was ok and a good reminder to not wait to tell family members the moments of your life that changed you before you can't communicate any longer. The acting was fine and the family dynamic believable but I just couldn't get over the inaccuracies; no beeping monitors in hospice. Each hospice has physician oversight. A physician is responsible for time of death. And, there is more family responsibility with home hospice than just sitting bedside. The movie missed an opportunity for the siblings to bond over his care. Just my 2 cents.

I think this is going to be very long and no one will read it lol but ok let me get my point across. Of all the tragic or miserable drama movies that I could watch or have watched, it has never occurred to me that I would hope that this ridiculous play that is like a movie, would end as soon as possible. Despite the number of desperate attempts to gain the viewer's sympathy or even reach the level of logic or depth, first of all I don't know if it was necessary or part of the movie or movies like this, which is the ___location, I mean the house and the vibes..etc, to be this depressing and at the same time superficial and at the same time simplistic despite the absurd feelings and despite the dialogues, narration and characters being far removed from these feelings that he is trying to convey through cinematography, with the exception of the character of Natasha.

Speaking of characters of course the film is poorly written so of course there is no performance from very good to above, and I would like to mention Elizabeth Olsen specifically. I mean this girl barely convinces you. She is exaggerating a lot and her performance is to say the least is comical, superficial, and vulgar and very annoying to watch her acting for me.. and as if she is somehow this troubled girl in every family and the beloved girl too and she is also the middle sister who solves all the problems at the same time and everyone thinks she's flawless. I mean, I loved her in Love and Death, but isn't she like kinda playing herself everytime? I mean I will not deny that she is good at being a superhero in her own way, but I cannot here, I am sorry. Well, the other performances are not that good but not that bad I guess, and I can only praise Natasha like I said, I kinda felt connected with her a bit, her acting was good. Though her writing is poor of course the vulgar, outcast, and addicted character that you see everywhere but this also depends on the plot of the film as well and its writing lol, I mean these characters may serve you as well and has a purpose and not just their situation for the sake of their situation.

Well, there are many films of this type and I understand and they are not for me for sure but there are a few, and I would like to mention in particular "The Father" which is one of the best films in recent years that discusses the same narrative style with the same deep and influential topics inside that box, but this is definitely not one of the good ones or from my perspective at least. I will only thank a little bit of the second half of the film and the fight scene, and there was some substance and improvement in the boring and slow pace, it could have continued in a good way but the beginning and the ridiculous dialogues tell you everything basically. The film lacked a lot indeed and the deviation a little outside the gloomy text, which lost or could not even have the viewer's sympathy. You needed here specifically to know why they ended up like this, why and how and explain this and that. Delve into some of the reasons and problems in terms of the characters and their story instead of just watching them and sharing their problems without justification and reasons. Or the ending that I don't know what did it want ..and the father not showing up until that moment and his silly lecture or his words that I think have no wisdom in them, if only it could have been replaced with several other useful options, at least a good ending. "empty, incomplete, boring to the point of ridiculousness and bad" this is what the movie is all about but what the director thought he was making or just wanted to be like just a simple drama movie more like a play about three different daughters.
