Reuniting St Vincent (2014) stars, Bill Murray and Naomi Watts, The Friend is a heavy, emotional tale that deals with death, suicide, and perseverance. Positives +Naomi Watts knocks it out of the park! +Apollo the Great Dane is a cute pup actor. +Scene voiceovers switch between characters +Thorough plot that examines all aspects of the story +A bit of creative fantasy Negatives -Multiple "False endings" scenes. You think the movie is over, but then another scene appears. Again. And again. -Felt too long with the above endings. -A lot of characters thrown in at once, but not explained until later. This movie had me crying in my seat. The connections of suicide, survivors guilt, regrets, and family were heavy. But your connections to these topics could increase or decrease your enjoyment. Buckle in for a long, but fulfilling journey. -GremlinLord615 -Full Reviews on my YT.
