Viewing Notes

Surprised this got a theatrical release. This is akin to a Lifetime movie I’d watch on Hoopla. The treatment for the opening credits telegraphs what kind of movie this will be.

But since I do watch many of these I have a favorable opinion. tbh I wasn’t planning on seeing this until I read Steve’s notes. My thoughts are the same. Having a mother with dementia I could empathize with the caregiver bc that is exactly how it is.

The massive exposition dump at the end is so ridiculous I was expecting some wild twist to happen. Nope!
