maggieFeb 21, 2021Gabriela Cowperthwaite's OUR FRIEND is a tender, cathartic tearjerker told well with wit and heart maybe imperfect but it pulls all the right strings, based on author Matthew Teague’s Esquire essay 'The Friend: Love Is Not a Big Enough Word'. Gabriela took the familiar…

A beautiful, heart-wrenching film about friendship and loss, though Casey Affleck’s face spends the entire runtime looking like a man who lost a staring contest with drywall.
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️I saw this in 2019 and now people want me to talk about it but all I remember is that I cried

I’ve never cried more while watching a movie! Amazing acting by Dakota Johnson and Jason Segal and the other actor! Beautiful story about real friendship and human kindness. Will watch again soon. Highly recommend it if you want to see your face loosing colour from crying so much
Jas. lovedOur FriendHaven’t cried this much in such a long time. It could have been a bit shorter but maybe a shorter film wouldn’t emotionally impact the audience the way it does. Prepare for this emotional rollercoaster. Absolutely loved it.
Scott Fausel likedOur FriendWe loved the 2015 Esquire piece on which this is based, but didn't recall most of the details. It's sad. Like, 10 tissues sad. But also moving.

Kevin lovedOur FriendWill absolutely make me cry when I watch it but the sacrifice of a friend who is always there is a beautiful reason for a story. This one deserves more attention.
Daniel Gil lovedOur FriendIt hits hard. It’s so emotional and the time stamps help the story. Casey Affleck, Dakota Johnson, and Jason Segel do such an incredible job. It’s strong.

This is a great story showing a couple getting closer together over time and a mutual friend that steps in to help them through the hard times. I also felt like the rating was worse then it should have been.

That diffuse focus and meandering narrative is the only real shortcoming in this consequential and touching weeper.

The film absorbingly shuttles back and forth in time, tracking key moments in the trio’s lives that not only illuminate their pasts but effectively prepare us for who Matt, Nicole and Dane become, for better and worse, when the going gets tough. It adds up to a skillful kind of mosaic that pays powerful emotional dividends.

This drippy drama presents precisely the kind of prettified portrait of death that Teague’s candid writing sought to rebut.
