Another sincere heartfelt performance by one of my favorite actors, the very talented Adrian Grenier. I was truly touched by this based-on-a-true-story film. It is not easy to watch the realities of loss, suffering, grief and cruelty; but seeing people's courage and dignity in adversity makes it the kind of story we need to share.

I streamed this movie on TV. To be honest, the thing that attracted me to the movie was the fact that Joshua Rush was in it. Joshua is one of my favorite actors, especially his work as a child actor. The movie examines life and death and family dynamics in a meaningful way. I felt like Rush was the central character. He really stood out in every scene. And don't be confused by the date. Rush was only 12 when the movie was filmed in 2014. But it wasn't released until 2021. It sat on a shelf for 7 years denying us the ability to enjoy it. But enjoy it I did. The plots and sub-plots may make you a little dizzy, but stick with it. It will be worth it. And thank you Joshua Rush for once again showing what a great actor you are.

An intelligent entertainer from a gifted director. A movie not to be missed.

Excellent casting. All the actors were brilliant in their roles. Great story. Very honest and real. The whole thing feels authentic. Very well paced film and beautifully edited. A well crafted film. Scenes seamlessly blended together.

The art direction looks very genuine. The cinematography brings a voyeuristic feel.

More than you'd expect. Very original.

Highly enjoyable from start to finish. A very thought provoking film. Would love to see more of this fare from this director. The actors were well chosen for their roles. The director really seems to have brought out the best in them. The story was highly realistic and original. No really dull moments or anything.

Totally authentic feel to it. The plot is very well conceived. Highly recommended. A real gem of a movie!

I am a gay man with no talent. Just opinions.

Ok m I would watch anything with Adrian Grenier. He is though part of an ensemble that makes this movie special. This movie is all about going home. Mending fences and rebuilding family ties. The movie is a wonderful diversion from Omicron. You can lose yourself in the p;lot and subplots.

Ally Walker recut and remastering the film lends to a more honest and thought provoking personal journey for the lead character Sean McAllister played by Adrian Grenier (Entourage/Click Bait). Adrian shows us a more sensitive side to his character's internal conflicts that we haven't seen in his other films without overacting or giving us a typical gay stereotype. We understand and feel for him, his family and relatable conflicts growing up as gay man in a small town.

Sean returns home after a long absence to a dying brother played by Bailey Chase and his wife Selma Blair along with their son Joshua Rush. Selma, I think is one of the most underrated actresses out there and her performance shows why she is so natural in this role. Joshua Rush is the glue that puts the family back together while questioning life and what death really means. Sean's father played by Daniel Hugh Kelly, is gruff at times and elusive to Sean after years of separation along with Bailey who he refuses to see at first. Bailey's nurse is played by Drea de Matteo who is natural and sensitive to the families needs.

The films takes us back and forth to Sean youth and is really a more of a coming of age. It's about family, life and what it really means to put our differences aside and just love each other for who they are...
