Andrew returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral, a journey that reconnects him with old friends. The trip coincides with his decision to stop taking his powerful antidepressants.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
