With a new iPhone, an apartment near the Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband, Marnie Minervini has happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori, a successful (but still single) screenwriter, and smother her with motherly love. But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others - as well as her own - and find a new purpose in life.

Lucy Popescu · CineVue 80.00/100.00

Scafaria is writing from personal experience and it shows in some of the understated but utterly credible scenes which illuminate the grieving process.

小晨 4.00/5.00

喜欢这种小故事,看的人好放松。但是缺点也很明显,首先前提太小资了,不愁吃穿的美丽寡妇(应该有一个更好的替代词)现实中有多少。再有就是电影感弱了些,太tv film了。

Moira Macdonald · The Seattle Times 88.00/100.00

These characters don’t seem like types chosen from a screenwriting manual but like people we might know, with quirks and feelings and flaws and hearts.
