The mother-daughter dynamic in Four Good Days is powerful and lasting and devastating and maybe the thing that will help Molly save her life. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

As a relationship movie, not just for the pair but those around them, Four Good Days is more complex than its outward trappings and preachier scenes — like an anguished Molly addressing a high school class — suggest. Read full review

What sets Four Good Days apart from the many other films of its ilk are Close and Kunis, who sharpen and elevate its well-worn contours with vivid performances that are honest and grounded. These are characters you can connect to, on both sides of the equation. Read full review

Katie Walsh

Four Good Days is a portrait of addiction that wants to dive into the ugliest parts: the detox, the physical deterioration, the flop houses, the things Molly did for drugs. But, despite Kunis’ haggard appearance, Four Good Days only flirts with ugly, pulling away from the most vile details at the last moments. Read full review

These are important stories that should be seen, but audiences need more than scripts that are primarily acting exercises, with very little insight beyond everyone blaming everyone else and reminders that bad choices by addicts and those around them lead to bad outcomes. Read full review

Unfortunately, Four Good Days doesn't really give anyone beyond its central duo anything much to do, and even they're largely saddled with trying to class up the equivalent of a Lifetime movie. Read full review

Both Glenn Close and Mila Kunis are very talented actors, but Four Good Days gives them absolutely nothing interesting to say or do. Read full review

It's grueling to come up and watch a movie like this, because not only is it completely predictable, it's also completely expendable.

This is a inside the box drama. Seen many times before, and with the more than constant sentimental manipulations of the argument. So even with the goodIt's grueling to come up and watch a movie like this, because not only is it completely predictable, it's also completely expendable.

This is a inside the box drama. Seen many times before, and with the more than constant sentimental manipulations of the argument.
So even with the good performances of Glenn Close and Mila Kunis, this film will not be able to overcome its own barrier of predictability, because at heart this is just a showcase of performances.
They're good, true, but these will never be memorable.

Four Good Days is primarily a momentary splinter of entertainment that you can find right now, but it will not add anything to the careers of those involved, not even Kunis herself who had never been challenged to this extent, let alone someone with Glenn Close's legacy.

So if you want to give it a chance, be aware of what awaits you.… Expand

(Mauro Lanari)
RT: "It struggles to bring authenticity to its tragic source material and strands its talent in a too bland melodrama to emotionally resonate".
