Told with the ramshackle energy of a first feature (but with a depth that hints at many more to come), Hart’s debut blossoms into a lovingly realized story of grief, getting by, and finding help in unexpected places.

Ms. Rabe’s beautifully balanced performance reminds you that people never really grow up.

Fine small film that really gets at the heart of life questions. Not all easy answers here but very well acted and well paced. Captures the sense of what it means to cope with these issues for people high school age and older folk as well. I liked it.

Miss Stevens bears a maturity and genuineness that thankfully feels miles apart from the inspirational assembly line of Hollywood product.

A tougher, wiser film might still have extended the characters a measure of compassion, but it might also have left the audience with a deeper curiosity about where life’s challenges could take them next.

It provides materials for discussion without directing the viewer toward a particular solution or easy answer.

Feel good indie dramedy. Doesn't break any new ground or take any risks but entertaining enough.

It's your typical pseudo feel-good/drama indie movie, but it has Timothée Chalamet in it.
