If you’re looking for a script that refuses to settle for the banal and pushes the boundaries in representing addiction, there are plenty of better films.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Four Good Days treats addiction in an intelligent way, has two good performances, but pulls the ripcord on a more daring ending.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2022

The film offers a compassionate if shallow look at recovery and regaining trust.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2022

Close and Kunis make Four Good Days watchable, even good, but not even they can save it completely.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 10, 2022

Kunis’ performance is raw and ugly in just the way it needs to be.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 31, 2022

Kunis - fearlessly going full-on anti-glam - and Close are on the same level here, giving strong performances in the service of a so-so screenplay... Keep your expectations modest.

| Aug 31, 2021

Both actresses give their all to the parts and serve as the calling card of Four Good Days.

| Jul 16, 2021

Four Good Days ultimately amounts to 100 middling minutes, and wallows in ... schmaltz.

| Jun 6, 2021

She [Close] is a master of carrying her characters' histories in her eyes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 28, 2021

The film is as harrowing as it is indulgent, as rooted in reality as it lost to hyperbole.

| May 24, 2021

While the film's leading cast gives fantastic performances, Four Good Days lacks focus and fails to expand upon its emotionally powerful moments.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 23, 2021

While It's painful to go on this film's journey fighting addiction, the most redeeming feature is Close and Kunis' acting. But we were really hoping Four Good Days would turn into a more satisfying hour and 40 minutes.

| May 21, 2021

Surprisingly quiet for a story as harrowing as this, the film features strong performances from its ... leads, Mila Kunis and Glenn Close, who star as Molly and her mother, Deb.

| May 21, 2021

Director Rodgrigo Garcia knows how to bring out the nuances in his actors' performances, and audiences looking for a study in acting will be rewarded, even if the movie is a tad formulaic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2021

The acting is the reason to see this film, not the subject matter. Kunis and Close give it their all in a movie that circumvents the real horrors of drug addiction.

| Original Score: B- | May 14, 2021

Rodrigo García directs in a way that breaks your heart but gives hope as well. The film is for addicts and those who love them.

| May 13, 2021

Although Close and Kunis' performances are undeniable, Four Good Days never truly touches the heart.

| May 12, 2021

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this shallow movie is left unexplored: why doesn't Deb look in the mirror at her role in Molly's addiction?

| Original Score: C | May 12, 2021

Four Good Days lacks the dramatic finale act that hits a much-needed emotional punch. While it never stops being convincing, the film is also too earnest and ultimately boring.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2021

It's difficult to fault an actor the caliber of Close, who imbues Deb with all the requisite nonverbals to suggest this is a performance which belongs in a better film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 10, 2021
