Is it selfish to hang on to a loved one even when their every moment is pain? Or is it grace to surrender them and keep their memories alive?
Our lead gets a do-over after a profound loss but he must be coaxed to the proper response. Along the way, he learns why sometimes the greatest testament to love is letting go.
We never know if it's a stranger's spirit he's interacting with or if he's projecting his loved one's final days onto this stranger he comes in contact with. But we get a hint, towards the end, of the real answer.
The story is brutally real. Sometimes, people are discarded and they never know why. Sometimes, people push their loved ones away to spare them a greater pain. And sometimes, people do the unthinkable as an act of mercy.
Minus one star for the lack of backstory on the hair stylist mother. Otherwise, this one's well worth a watch.
