As a young women who has recently gone through a significant life-changing trauma, this film meant more to me than I could describe in a review. Before I watched this film I was planning to commit suicide. It has saved me. I relate to everything Allison, the protagonist, goes through - her unresolved grief, guilt and the sudden transformation of life. She goes from a girl who has "everything", to hitting the despair of rock bottom, losing her spark. She develops an opioid addiction after an unexpected tragedy, and continues to live with the emotional pain of the event, having continuous suicide thoughts and being unable to face reality. It's a poignant reflection of the reality of people who have been through trauma. Pugh's performance is sincere and heartfelt, and I can honestly say this film is one of the only things in my life right now that has genuinely given me hope to carry on.

This was the perfect movie. At least for me anyway. I feel like I know the main character. I feel like I am the main character. Pugh gave a performance that is Oscar worthy in all the right ways. If this movie doesn't touch you, you must not be alive or know anyone. The struggle is real for us. From the 1st day to our last day. I appreciate the writing, directing, acting, all of it.

Sometimes you take a chance on a film because you like one or two of the actors. Sometimes you watch it because the synopsis grabs your attention. And, Sometimes you see it because of great reviews. I watched this because of the first two reasons. Had I went strictly the reviews, I probably would have passed. I'm so glad I did not. We may not have Mr. Freeman for much longer. He, like the rest of us, is getting older and I'm sure grueling film work takes its toll on even young actors. He is a Nation Treasure. In this film he truly shines with some of his best work thus far. It's emotional, especially if you are or have been in the "program". I highly recommend this movie. See it, and to hell with the ignorant, misguided reviewers. I don't think they even watch this at all.

For some inexplicable reason Morgan Freeman cannot hold a film by himself. But when coupled with a similarly talented co-star he shines brightly, and he does here when paired with the exceptional Florence Pugh. A simple tale of loss and grief, redemption and forgiveness, but a story of a long and difficult journey to achieve all of those things. Freeman and Pugh both give vulnerable, honest performances designed to show true grief and shame and anger, rather than poorly portrayed emotions. It's an old story really of overcoming grief and shame and addiction and coming to terms with life, but it's done so powerfully here without us having to fill in any blanks or be unsure of the real affect on the people involved. A major plot point offers an interesting and surprising glitch when Daniel berates Allison her for being on her phone when she crashed, yet he's just driven to meet her while very drunk. His anger at her is very ironic. Nevertheless, fine performances from everyone, great, thoughtful dialogue and beautifully directed. Don't miss this one.
