Never before on screen have I seen filth so reliably spewed across multiple generations. This is an insult to the incredible cast, to the audience’s intelligence, and to anyone who has ever suffered trauma (or quite frankly, lived life in general). This is two hours of exasperating exposition, all doled out through monologues in which family trees are explicated with the subtlety of a guillotine. Actual serious issues are swept under the rug as the screenplay jacks off to its “interconnectivity” and idiot student thesis about life as an unreliable narrator. It isn’t until the last third when the film approaches anything resembling a story, but by then, it’s already warped itself into a manipulative, callous, and arrogant deformity. This…

This is my favourite 2018 movie. Today it was raining in my town and I didn't enjoy it that much, so I decided to rate it with 1,5 stars.
Tommorow The weather broadcast said that tommorow it will be a shiny day. I might rewatch it tommorow and think about the movie further while watching it.
If the weather isn't shiny I will not consider this a coincidence, but fate and I will rate this 1 or half a star. Even though I love this movie. The editing, direction, performances are all too good to be true. Definately recommend it! Peace <3 -

I really hated this movie at the beginning but it really grew on me. Yeah, it's sappy and a little unrealistic but it mostly executed on its ambitions.

A lot of people here seem to hate this film and so I feel like the odd one out because I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, but I understand why. Yes, it does feel like a cheesy Hallmark TV movie in some parts but, you know what, cheesy is good sometimes. I think what I liked the most was how different it was from what I had pictured in my head.
It is separated into five narrated chapters, which was surprising and made the story a little confusing in certain parts as it went back and forth sometimes, but it all makes sense at the end with that little plot twist that ties it all together. Although, some of…
