The first thing that came to mind when the movie ended was " why did they make this movie?"
pointlessly melancholic only works with brilliant acting and writing which you will not find here

I like it although I think it has received more appreciation than it deserved.
Excuse a bit the arrogance but the truth is that despite being functional, it never ceases to be a fairly basic drama.
Very much within the Netflix standard.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an understated film about a difficult subject - the impending death of one mans close friend. I thought it was quite poignant at times and I found some of the interactions between the two main characters, Michael and Andy, at different times amusing and sweet. Its a good depiction of male companionship - the two guys seem quite comfortable with things, which may be hard to understand given the brutal situation they feel but what choice do they have? I suppose. As I say its relatively understated, i.e. its not full of Hollywood industry forced sadness, forced saccharine sweet aspects - it handles the heavy themes in a pretty matter of fact way, with numerous arguments highlighting their frustrations and differences of opinion. Its quite a human film, I think its fair to say. Thoughtful stuff - worth a watch.… Expand

Romano is great in this doing his typical late stage schtick, sand-off is a funny and useful wish. The movie verges a little too much on un-comfortability towards the end.
