In an emotional journey based on a true story by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post writer Eli Saslow, 31-year-old Molly begs her estranged mother Deb for help fighting a fierce battle against the demons that have derailed her life. Despite all she has learned over a decade of disappointment, grief and rage, Deb throws herself into one last attempt to save her beloved daughter from the deadly and merciless grip of heroin addiction. Powerhouse performances from Glenn Close and Mila Kunis anchor director Rodrigo García's poignant and unpredictable chronicle of mother and daughter fighting to regain the love and trust that once held them together.

Critics Consensus

Four Good Days struggles to bring authenticity to its tragic source material and strands its talent in a bland melodrama.

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?

It is a couple of good performances in a movie that feels like we have seen it a thousand times before.

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.

3/5

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

True life, how one suffering from substance abuse lose everything to the disease. It takes over the mind. The family struggles, disconnects, separate get mad, fear don't understand and blame themselves. Think its their fault they are that way. Family need supports and never lose hope. Because miracles can happen.
