Our Friend

A beautifully well written story based on a true story that will bring you to tears

Touching, realistic and overwhelming. I don’t think the back and forth added much to an already convoluted plot. I get where the director was going, trying to stitch the pieces together in the end. However, it didn’t lead to much catharsis’ or a sense of relief, the reward in the end was as fleeting as some of the backstories. With that said, what a journey through the lives of three people. They performed it excruciatingly well. Dakota and Casey do much of the heavy lifting but it’s Jason Siegel who portrays the willing friend that ties them together that is at his career best.

Omg, this movie hurts

The movie works precisely because it isn't trying to find deeper meaning in any of this. The terminal cancer isn't some convoluted metaphor or lazy lesson for the audience, it simply is what it is and Segel's character's choice, while given the proper consideration, isn't over analyzed.

Initially I wasn't into it. Slow in some parts and messy time jumps was not effective for me. After learning the backstory of this film, I appreciated it a bit more. A writer's tribute to his wife is touching. I wish the film did it more justice.

I loved this film.. Excellent acting, truly heartfelt story.

Truly the saddest film I've ever watched! Very underrated

Likes: were definitely how it followed the the story written by Mathew Teague. The emotion this film makes you feel are very strong. Dislikes:thought Dakota Johnson's acting was questionable in a few scenes

Such a sweet film :,) tugs on the heart strings 😭

Excellent acting from all the cast. A fairly realistic portrayal of cancer.
