Who would love this

  • Fans of June Squibb and her ability to blend humor with pathos.
  • Viewers who appreciate character-driven dramedies that explore themes of aging, grief, and friendship.
  • Audiences interested in Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut and her approach to storytelling.
  • Those who enjoy films that offer a poignant look at human connection and the stories we tell ourselves and others.

Who might not

  • Viewers who prefer fast-paced, action-oriented films or those with a very clear, unambiguous moral compass.
  • Audiences who are sensitive to the use of fabricated stories about traumatic historical events like the Holocaust, especially if they feel it's handled insensitively or for unearned emotion.
  • Critics who are looking for a highly polished and artistically bold visual style, as some found the film's craft to be conventional or lacking a strong directorial vision.
  • Those who dislike films with tonal shifts that they perceive as awkward or inconsistent.
