I gave it a 7.

Not surprised by Goslings performance but I actually really enjoyed Shareeka Epps. Her emotions were subtle and her lines fairly minimum yet I feel like every face she made conveyed so much. I loved their dynamic.

This is 100% a character-driven piece that I feel like was on the CUSP of being extremely great. There's not really a feeling of closure. The movie feels like it ends right after it starts gaining emotional momentum. Are we supposed to be uncertain about what the future brings? Do we feel optimistic, doubtful? I can see that being the point, but it still leaves me feeling fairly empty.
