Collette in particular does not shy away from the more prickly, selfish aspects of Milly, pushing her as far as she can without ever alienating the audience (even as she alienates her friends and family).

A Beaches-style exploration of women's friendship.

| Sep 29, 2021

The biggest success here is how much emotion the film manages to evoke while still maintaining a sense of joy.

| Apr 7, 2020

The harder you might try to enjoy Miss You Already, the more it feels forced-something the best of friendships never are.

| Mar 16, 2020

This sweet, at times heartbreaking friendship story is worth being seen.

| Original Score: B | Oct 17, 2019

You'll need to take a medium size box of tissues for Miss You Already.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 26, 2019

The narrative milestones of Milly's cancer - including head-shaving and chemo-induced puking - are well worn in cinema, yet it's the stale and predictable trajectory of this fictional friendship which really offends.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2019

Ultimately, Miss You Already has a talented cast that is able to sustain the general momentum and tone of the film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2019

Barrymore and Collette often seem like they're fighting with the tacky material, but it's a fight they ultimately win; however many times you roll your eyes at Jess and Milly, you can't help but get caught up in their tearjerker of a story.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 27, 2019

Catherine Hardwicke's comedy drama could be filed under that cringeworthy industry category, "chick flick"... But the two leads are the no-nonsense Drew Barrymore and there is a waspish script by Morwenna "Absolutely" Banks in its favour.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018

As a pure tearjerker, it gets the job done, and the movie's final half hour is a masterclass in weepy conclusions.

| Jun 13, 2018

A lackluster reboot of chick flick extraordinaire Beaches. I kept waiting for "Wind Beneath My Wings" to start playing. Alas, it never did.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 3, 2017

Across the board, the performances are terrific: superbly understated and fabulously real.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2017

As much as I disliked Miss You Already, I have to admit that I was rather taken with Barrymore's performance as Jess.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 21, 2017

There is nothing apologetic about the way [Catherine] Hardwicke depicts Milly's vanity and neediness. The Twilight director delivers a realistic portrait of someone who fears losing everything.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2017

Bring your tissues and your bestie along for this raw yet beautiful film -- it's one you shouldn't miss.

| Mar 10, 2017

Miss You Already is commendably brave in its unsweetened depiction of cancer, and in fact this is probably the most honest depiction of the disease I can remember seeing in a cinema.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2016

Barrymore and Collette bring their 'A' game, while Hardwicke's stewardship is gloriously strong.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 22, 2016

You can see it all coming, but it's wonderful.

| Jul 11, 2016

Miss You Already is a small step up from a 온라인카지노추천 disease-movie-of-the-week, due purely to the forceful performance of Toni Collette as Millie, a successful PR executive with a hip musician husband and young kids who discovers she has breast cancer.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 3, 2016
