I actually found this movie quite touching? An interesting way to show the different stages of grief. I also enjoyed Tom Hanks in the role that was usually filled by Bill Murray.

This movie got a bit of mixed reviews but I actually liked it!! I will say at one point that it did seem like Wes had lost the point and relied a bit of his trademark Wes-isms to make up for it.

But specific scene with Margot really ties its all up nicely!

For anyone who wants to see the weird TV movie I described that Asteroid City made me think of.
