Standout Aspects

Acting

Cara Delevingne commits to the bit harder than expected.

Cinematography

Toronto pretending to be New York, beautifully.

Best for:Date Night: If you want to test if they're a crier.·Solo: When you need to feel something, anything.·Streaming: Pause frequently to process the cringe.
Heads up:Emotional: Terminal illness as plot device may feel manipulative.·Triggers: Father-son conflict includes physical confrontation scene.
