“Iu0026#39;m all for a heart wrenching drama about someone whou0026#39;s down on their luck, but Katie Says Goodbye has 0 bright parts to it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKatie, played beautifully by Olivia Cooke is an extremely naive waitress having sex on the side for money to fund an ambitious move to San Francisco.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSheu0026#39;s a character thatu0026#39;s too good for this terrible world, which is clearly what the writers are trying to portray. But they lay this notion on too thick, with one terrible circumstance after another and not a single moment to counterbalance this, the result? Katie as a character becomes one-note.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike I said, this movie has a great performance by Olivia Cooke and is worth watching just for her.”
