Evelyn X @yiyi1111 Mar 22 A seemingly overbearing mother, unable to see her daughter, channels her focus onto other people. With a kind heart, she drives a young man to night school, finances a marine-themed wedding for a lesbian couple, and visits a patient in the hospital. To me, it seems that because of the death of her husband, she has to fill her life with these activities so she doesn't have to think about her sorrow. It is only at the moment she scatters his ashes into the sea that she is finally prepared to move on. Meanwhile, her daughter sends her a message right when she can no longer be reached. Ultimately, the film shows that the love between two people has to be explicitly expressed in some way—even if it takes the form of endless, overwhelming care for others.

See more Drina W @RT49065329 06/14/2025 Such a wonderful film about family, chosen family, relationships, and moving on after the death of a loved one. It was just the right amount of thoughtfulness, warmth, and depth mixed with east coast humor. If you're from the tristate, you'll get the Italian American references. And Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne killed it in this. The supporting actors were equally as good and brought a rich life to this film.
