This movie was a little hard to follow. The flashbacks are too sporadic and abrupt. Joanna is reminiscent of Mother Abigail from The Stand but seems more like a Saturday Night Live spoof character than an homage. The cast are all good actors with established careers but I feel the script and direction failed them. The story is an important one to tell but the execution missed the mark for me. I watched the entirety of the film to see it through but it was a bit of a struggle to do so. It had the potential to be a blockbuster but left me with more of a dark, Hallmark movie vibe. Being that this was based on a true story, I would love to see it retold in a more cohesive manner. The styling and cinematography were well done. I will give it that. I do think it's still worth a watch because it touches on mental health struggles and understanding grief which are two topics that everyone needs to talk about more often to help with the stigmas attached to both.
What a fabulous cast! Though I was able to guess the twist very early on (I'm autistic so I see patterns and can put pieces together quickly) it was satisfying to watch it unravel. The moment of revelation was exciting for me because I got it right. Even if you think you know the outcome, give the show your time because it is beautifully done. It's giving, Damages meets Broadchurch. Right off the hope you will be invested. Don't take anything for granted while watching. Not every thing is as it seems. Even though I guessed the twist early on, for most people I think it will blow their minds. Great job.
I liked it. I had it in my watch list for a while and had been debating giving it a go. I watched despite the poor rating, knowing that neither Winona nor Dermot would connect themselves to a crappy script. Admittedly I was able to call the twist about halfway through, but I still enjoyed watching it unfold. It's a cool concept. With so many reboots and remakes, it was nice to have some original content. I would recommend giving this movie a chance. Ignore the bad ratings and judge for yourself. If you still don't enjoy it then, fair enough but give it a go and you may be pleasantly surprised.
