A blunt, grieving widow is forced to plan her husband’s funeral with a total stranger: her estranged gay son’s gay assistant. As they fumble through grief and their strange, darkly funny circumstances, buried secrets and long-held resentments surface, but their partnership becomes an unlikely conduit for connection, laughter, and healing for this mother and her unexpected surrogate son.

is that for you arriving safely or me doing well?
jim rash is pretty high up there on my list of favorite directors and this movie solidifies that.
allison janney…. you tore me heart out cradled it in your hands and for that you deserve your flowers and so much more. andrew & her play so well off of eachother it was heartwarming to see.
whoever said grief is like glitter has never lost a parent or someone close. grief is like fiber glass.
