⭐️⭐️⭐️
The teenage years are undeniably a challenging period, and for Doris, the added burden of dealing with the impending loss of her brother only compounds the difficulty. Navigating the complexities of adolescence while grieving the absence of a loved one is an incredibly heavy load to bear. Though she may strive to cope and carry on, the pain lingers beneath the surface, impacting her daily experiences. It’s important for Doris to recognize that it’s okay to not always feel okay and to seek the support and understanding she needs during this profound time of change and loss.
The film truly delves deeply into the various ways people prepare for significant losses, believing they are coping adequately without realizing they may need help. This prompts contemplation on how we handle different life events, although it’s likely that only a limited number of people will fully relate to the depth of this film.
Nico Parker carries her role very well and does a rather impressive job of leading it all, having good chemistry with Laura Linney as they battle against one another. Woody Harrelson is on offer for some support scenes as well.
