About
You may like this if you’re in the mood for a gentle, hopeful drama about loneliness, community, and belief, with a low-key tone similar to The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel; Not for you if you want fast pacing or dislike overtly spiritual themes.
Pros: heartfelt, uplifting moments; thoughtful faith vs doubt; strong supporting characters | Cons: very slow pacing; can feel preachy; ending feels rushed
