Featured reviews
"Our Friend" (2019) is a sweet, sincere, heartbreaking and heartwarming movie. Its based on a true story, but to be honest, there are tons of stories like these were cancer is involved - its not what makes this movie good. What makes it good is solid directing, good writing, and terrific acting from all three main characters. Casey Affleck and Jason Segel were very good in this movie, but its Dakota Johnson's career performance so far - she was amazing in a hard to watch performance because of the subject matter,
Overall, "Our Friend" is not about the cancer but rather about love, family, friendship and caring about each other. Good movie.
I particularly loved the non linear leaps, backwards and forwards, to break-up what would have been a very sad and predictable timeline.
What's truly astonishing is that this story really happened. Stories like these need to be voiced and felt. We should be lucky to have a 'Dane' in our lives.
Parts are difficult watch, but absolutely worth it!.. Keep a box of Kleenex close by.
Must watch.
