Florence Pugh is involved in a tragic car accident that changes her life, including becoming addicted to prescription drugs. Unable to come to terms with her grief, she finds some help in an unlikely place.
This is certainly a moving experience with a strong script, but the fundamental story covers no new ground and largely moves along as expected and occasionally strays into unnecessary melodrama. Of course what takes this to a higher level is the presence and performance of both Florence Pugh, who seems incapable of a bad performance and Morgan Freeman, who demonstrates here what a great actor he is. This is the first time in a while that he hasn't played a smiling curmudgeons or a presidential type - nice to see. Worth seeing then for the excellent performances rather than the rather run of the mill story.
