Chris L @RT73166460 Sep 9, 2025 It's exceedingly difficult to tell a story that is, at once, a coming-of-age yarn and an end-of-life tale. SIBWC pulls off that nifty feat with plenty of bitter-sweet heart and feel-good charm to spare. A delightfully curious confection; like a chocolate-chili or carrot-cardamom cake that shouldn't work, but somehow does. See more

Izabella A @RT39943575 May 14, 2025 I was pleasantly surprised, i thought this was going to be just another movie without depth. I related to it, and it brought out complex feelings with laughter and tears. See more

Micaela M @RT84380809 Jan 24, 2025 No movie has any right to be this freaking sad, cried so hard I had a migraine the next morning, overall amazing though See more

Justine 3 Jan 6, 2024 I haven’t cried to a movie since I was like 8 years old, but when I tell you I SOBBED to this movie, I truly did. Something about it really struck a chord with me. The portrayal of the different relationships in this film and how the two main characters were able to grow from them was absolutely beautiful. I thought the acting was raw, and the cinematography was great. Overall, it was an amazing movie that I was not expecting to love as much as I did. See more

Alejandro E @Alex970 Oct 13, 2023 The story, although it is not entirely new, has something that makes it attractive even though its first 30 minutes lack rhythm. The second hour is the one that attracts the most attention and has the greatest emotional charge. Its biggest attraction is the cake parade, of course. See more

Sal D @JustTheLaw Oct 8, 2023 The chemistry between Yara Shahidi and Odessa A'zion - particular Shahidi's performance - makes this an absolute watch. Without spoiling the movie, I'd have edited out the last scene completely, and left Shahidi's characters semi-soliloquy as the most beautiful ending. See more
