Our Friend is based on a true story, that has been adapted from a magazine article titled 'The Friend', written by Matt Teague(Casey Affleck). When married couple Matt & Nicole Teague(Dakota Johnson) receive some grave & tragic information, their best friend Dane Faucheux(Jason Segel), moves in with them. Dane leaves a lasting impression on Matt, Violet & their children's lives.
Our Friend is an awe-inspiring film. Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite has given us a movie that will make you laugh, tear up & end up smiling again, all through the course of its runtime. The fact that it's based on a true story, refuels my faith in the innate goodness of human nature. The cinematography by Joe Anderson is gorgeous. Jason Segel is spectacular as Dane Faucheux. Segel gives us the best performance of his career, so far. Casey Affleck is outstanding as Matt Teague. Dakota Johnson is mind-blowing as Nicole Teague. Johnson has definitely moved on from her Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy(2015-2018) days. Segel, Affleck & Johnson have this effortless camaraderie in all their scenes together. Isabella Kai is phenomenal as Molly Teague. Kai is a young talent, that has a long & bright career ahead of her. Violet McGraw is adorable as Evie Teague. The supporting cast is great. Our Friend is a must watch. Go & witness the triumph of the human spirit, in all its glory!
