“Visiting Friends is a heartfelt, personal story that packs in a lot of pathos without feeling maudlin or melodramatic. It features strong performances from both the leads and the supporting cast. The atmospheric cinematography, which features a lot of nighttime shots bathed in city and suburban streetlights, complements the brooding but hopeful tone of the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was pleasantly surprised by the way the relationship between the two leads developed. The denouement of the story is shocking but satisfying. Visiting Friends is a drama at its heart, but itu0026#39;s not afraid to dip a toe into the thriller genre, which it manages to do without sacrificing its relaxed pace and pensive exploration of the psyches of its characters.”
