Description

When Cami Bowden's ex-husband Craig dies suddenly of a heart attack, the perfect life Cami has created begins to unravel. At Craig’s funeral, Cami and Aster encounter Rachel, Craig’s second, much younger wife, who he left Cami for, and Talulah, Craig’s second child, who is pointedly avoiding the grieving process. Rachel, having spent much of her adult life as a stay-at-home wife, reveals to Cami that Craig has been hiding a multitude of debt and that their house will be repossessed––Rachel and Talulah will soon be left without a home or a penny to their names while they hope for Craig’s life insurance policy to pay out. Moved by Rachel’s plight, Cami reluctantly offers to let the pair temporarily live in her house. Together under one roof, the women process their grief and anger over his death and search for meaning and direction in their lives. All the while, old secrets and shifting allegiances threaten to bring the tenuous balance of the household crashing down around them.

  • Not a 'girls only' movie.

    It's a superbly written movie. Witty, and well acted by strong characters. Very real life. Not the typical hollywood movie.
  • A hidden gem

    I was unexpectedly surprised at how good this movie was! A hidden gem that everyone needs to watch. The female cast led by the soulful Heather Graham is empowering with a storyline powerful enough that will move you to tears. Don’t miss this!

    It's slow and meditative, and a very quiet emotional experience. By the end of the film you feel like these people are your friends or your family and you're rooting for them. Not an earth-shattering story, but fulfilling all the same, and believable in all it's quirkiness.
  • Unusually good

    I didn’t know what to expect watching this movie. I was not disappointed. It was so good and unusual and so many things. Blended family with a twist. 👍❤️
