Our Friend
Gabriela Cowperthwaite, USA, 2019o
The lives of journalist Matt, his wife Nicole and their two young daughters are disrupted when Nicole is diagnosed with terminal cancer. For Matt, the responsibility becomes more and more exhausting and he threatens to break. That's when Dane , the couple's best friend, offers to help. When he realizes how relentlessly the situation is tearing at the family, he puts his life on hold to stay with his friends until the bitter end.
Adapté d'un récit autobiographique, le mélodrame de Gabriela Cowperthwaite tresse avec élégance les thèmes de la maladie et de l'amitié. Il est bon, de temps en temps, de pleurer avec des personnages que nous ne connaissons pas.
