Dear Zoe

Sadie Sink inhabits the character of Tess, a teenaged girl going through a difficult transition in her life. A horrible accident upends her normal existence and shatters her family on the exact same day America experiences the shock and terror of the 9/11 attacks. Theo Rossi ("Emily the Criminal") also does good work as Tess's father in what could have been a cliched role if a lesser actor had played it. Newcomer Kweku Collins is also fine as a very (un)stereotypical boy-next-door and he and Sink display good and interesting chemistry in their scenes together.

A word about the cinematography in this low budget indie and the word is beautiful. Most independent films simply don't look as nice as this one does. There's a great physical sense of Pittsburgh and its surroundings and I like how the enhanced visuals reflect Tess's heightened awareness during this intense time in her life.

Dear Zoe has both heft and heart and it reveals important truths about both grief and guilt, and how we have to come to terms with these feelings in order to move on with our lives.

"Dear Zoe explores the grieving process with sweet messages, but in addition to being extremely generic, Gren Wells makes questionable creative decisions that remove emotional impact from the narration-dependent narrative. Typical film that's worth watching more for the extraordinary performances of the cast than for the formulaic screenplay.

Kweku Collins impresses on his debut, Theo Rossi demonstrates his underrated range, and Sadie Sink continues to prove why she's one of the most fascinating, talented actresses of her generation."

Thank You. Thank You for writing that incredible novel Philip, Thank You everyone who worked on bringing this story to the screen.

Your work has helped me on this journey of healing. There's so much broken inside me, but this, all of this, all you've done, has helped and will continue to help for the rest of my life.

To anyone reading, if you're going through something, anything, I hope this work of art can bring-or has brought-you something tangible and special like it brought me.

I decided to go and take in the film and novel just because of the name. There was a kind of a calling in it, an invite to take a moment and experience a story. I had no idea it would have so many effects on me, links to my life, lines on paper and screen that still resonate with everything before, and everything after.

And all those drawings... how perfectly captured, created, drawn, made and *told*. Thank You for the Notebook, too.

Wow why is sadie sink so good, her acting was so good, the story of the film is average, but the acting was wonderful. She will develop a lot and I believe that when it grows up, it will do even better. While watching Stranger Things I was already amazed by his acting and he did very high quality acting, Hopefully stranger things season 5 will also gwlir again and make it a super acting. While this review is only about sadie sink, I also liked the movie, But the story of the film could have been even better, I'm finishing this review here Good day everyone, see you friends see you sadie sink by.

Which is a GOOD thing, if you are a young actress with a long career stretching ahead of you. I am honest in all my reviews, and this one is no different. I watched mainly because, as a fan of Stranger Things, I wanted to see if she had the acting chops to carry a film on her own? She does. This young lady has the look and the talent to become an A-lister. But here is the kicker. A lot of viewers will be drawn to Dear Zoe for the exact same reason I was, figuring that if the film is any good, that is just a bonus. The film, the story, is somewhere between average and below-average. About bad choices made by young people. This particular lead actress, on the other hand, has only good choices ahead of her.
