A review by griggs79

Written by griggs79 on 2025-06-23

Wants to be heartfelt, but it doesn’t know how. The actors clearly want to do more—especially Fionnula Flanagan, who does more without any dialogue than most do with lines—but the script keeps undercutting them. Every moment of sincerity gets followed by a quip from a sitcom. It can’t decide if it’s a comedy or a tragedy, and ends up being neither. The tonal whiplash extends to the visuals too, jumpy editing and awkward handheld shots doing little. It’s not bad, but just frustratingly bland.
