“This film has a huge heart. Its strength lies in the three leads, Chrissy Metz, Wyatt Oleff and Fin Argus. Itu0026#39;s understated, authentic and thank goodness didnu0026#39;t devolve into an Afterschool Special.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy only beef with the film was that they set up the possibility of the younger son confronting the doctor responsible for turning his mother into an addict but didnu0026#39;t deliver. The heartache that the brothers endured as a result of their mother disappointing them time and time again was real and I ached for them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne subplot was a great example of subtext dealing with the youngest brother dealing with his sexuality but unable to truly express himself because he was trapped in a small town. Oleff handled the scenes like a true pro. Understated and poignant.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe need less superhero movies and more stories about the subject.”
