This a very well-scripted and executed film about an upcoming death in the family, and the abyss that it leaves.. sucking those around to the center of it, for the better.
You know exactly how it is going to end, but it is what it leaves you with that matters! And what it sets out to do, it achieves with masterful craftsmanship by everyone involved.
From giving you a believable semblance of 4 different people's lives, how it captures some gut-wrenching sentiments, pain, the interactions between the well-performed sisters, that awkward feeling of people slotting back into someone else's life, and Natasha Lyonne's stand-out character gettings some kind "redemption" in the end. I also liked the "sound of the city" in the credits.
Very enjoyable! In its own way.

We saw this movie at an industry preview. Katie, Christina, and Rachel come together in their father's NYC apartment when he's at the end of life and in hospice care. They are very different souls, all well scripted and well-acted.
The eldest is intense and overbearing, the youngest is dissolute and (seemingly) aimless, the middle child moved to California and became the proto-Cali mom.
Conflict is rampant as the sisters try to negotiate their differences. The movie wanders through the dialogue among the three, the boyfriend of one (a great scene), and the recurring presence of the oddly unempathic hospice coordinator. It's talky and set almost entirely in the dad's apartment, but maintained my interest.
The movie ambles to a conclusion that's both surprising and subject to widely different interpretations that may not be to everyone's taste. I bought in, especially as it becomes clear which child was the father's favorite.
My main criticism is that the three sisters' characters borders on the stereotypical. Borders, but doesn't quite slide over the edge.

A lovely and beautiful movie about bonds and sisterhood, it makes you think twice about your sister and you can always do better.
This movie shows real sisters that you need to treat your sister better because you don't know the struggles she is facing, you literally dont know your sister darling.
So dont take for granted you relationship with your family ok, this movie has amazing performances by the three leads specially Natasha (she is my choices in the oscars)
And of course the ending scenes are emotional and ignore the review saying that that was unnecessary, he is obviously no director 8/10
Another great movie this 2024.

I really wish those making movies would consult medical personnel before making a movie. This movie is solid when it comes to family relations and how the stress of losing a loved one brings out the silent and unsaid. However, from a medical aspect, hospice patients sign a document stating what their wishes are when doing the paperwork with hospice. The hospice medical director signs off on it, so that made some scenes unnecessary. Also, there are no cardiac monitors, no IVs with hospice, and nurses do not come and sit at the bedside because time is money in healthcare. (We wish we could spend that time). Besides that, this movie reflects real life, it is entertaining, and does not include the standard forced Hollywood social indoctrination. So, thank you, for just entertaining the audience.
Interesting choice of title. Showing that even if we mainly see the daughters of a dying man, the man is centric to the story because he is the reason, and only he, why we see them interact with each other in this dramatic point of their life.
Also, it is interesting to me how at first they seemed so different from each other, with distinct personalities and by the end they blend - not much, but at least their personalities are more into one - with their common goal sinking in. That's why their bond will be stronger after.
Great acting from the three leads but with no moments of brilliance.
Just a sad showcase of the power of grief and all its steps. Not a movie one can enjoy, let's say, but one you can appreciate.
