I expected Kramer v. Kramer or Marriage Story, and it was, but it was much more layered than that. It's about the repercussions and frustrations of caring for a parent with Alzheimer's; it's about people pushed to lie to do right by their loved ones; it's about fear of doing the wrong things and being judged by your loved ones.
