About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a calm, character-focused drama about a relationship evolving over decades, with humor and tenderness; Not for you if you need fast pacing or hard-hitting social commentary like The Long Walk Home.

Pros: warm unlikely friendship; strong lead performances; gentle humor | Cons: slow pace; simplified view of racism; talky, stage-like feel
