Norman B. @KunNeki Apr 14 I pre judged the movie, but I was definitely wrong it was better than I thought. Solid acting with an emotional story See more Timothy N. @tnebesar Jan 13 Mediocre writing and acting. Cheesy and unrealistic feeling at times. See more fatima o @RT39789769 Oct 26 I really this movie. At a time where your thinking of mortality, grieving, and death. Plus the pit falls and rises of growing up and family relation I think this movie is a beautiful representation of that. The two main lead Nico Parker and Laura Linney did amazing job of representing this difficult mother daughter bond. Along with the forever legend that is Woody Harrelson giving great support to his role. If your going through grieve, thinking about death a lot, or just need a relatable movie about growing up I would highly recommend (jus don't let Doris drive) See more Slick R @SlickReviewer Jun 11 Good watch. Nico Parker is excellent as is Laura Linney. Watched this when it first came out, and could watch it again. See more Kevin C @RT66939973 Jun 2 This movie was absolutely depressing. Love it. Beautiful writing. Anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t relate to it. See more Ben D @RT87620530 01/23/2025 Suncoast sits in that section of perfectly serviceable movies that will scratch the itch of family drama/coming-of-age issues, but here, set against the backdrop of a political moment (the Terry Schiavo case) that feels like it happened in a parallel universe. Dorothy (Nico Parker) has been tasked with caring for her vegetative brother (Parker Sack) with her single mom, Kristine (Laura Linney). Eventually, Adam (Sack) is moved to hospice care (“Suncoast”) where Terri Schiavo just so happens to also be located. While traversing her precious state as a teen, Dorothy must also traverse activists and protestors on both sides of the “right to die” issue. Woody Harrelson as Paul is one of these activists (he’s pro-life) and strikes up somewhat of a friendship with Dorothy, but it isn’t nearly as prominently featured in the movie as one would expect (likely to the movie’s detriment). The plot mainly revolves around Dorothy attempting to solidify some sense of normalcy (making friends, meeting boys, acquiring a fake ID, going to prom) in her chaotic life. In between, she fights with her mom and talks to Paul. The acting is strong— there’s an absolutely insane, jaw-dropping moment from Kristine — and it pulls on the heartstrings (how could it not, it’s a dying kid), but the movie just never fully materializes into something really worth sinking into.
