    Hello, fucked-up kids. I find it really easy to get hit with this kind of troubled teen movie. "Just tell me where you want me to bury you." Another line gave me goosebumps. Countless times in the short past I've been through, I thought I'd be the recipient of this question. From this movie, I don’t want to simply praise the greatness of maternal love, because loving and being loved, choosing and caring are all very complicated things. In this film, these complexities are thoroughly analyzed....

    This is the correct way to open the drama between troubled teenagers and their families. Although the second half of the story is a bit off track and the ending is a bit anticlimactic, the performance of the two leading actors is so moving that people can't help but ignore the flaws. Name and praise Lucas Hedges again. Although in the end, his innocent face as a drug dealer is a bit inconsistent, but in most of the scenes, every expression and action of his are just right and hit people's...

    Julia Roberts' performance is too eye-catching. The script is written very delicately, without any flashbacks, only in the 24-hour storyline. The more I go on, the more I realize how precious those smiles are...

    The story is very clever, much better than "Pretty Boy" and "The Erased Boy". Lucas Hedges has an extraordinary maturity....

    I really didn't expect such a bland and boring story@@" Except for the heroine who really acted well...I don't know what else to say...

    Treated like a suspense movie mother with a dangling...

    The front and back are seriously split, half of the film is good, and the performances of the two leading actors in the opening are close to...

    I thought it was a popular award season exclusively for Julia Roberts, but I didn't expect to be attracted by Lucas Hedges' performance. The light completely overshadowed the former. It definitely deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, okay? In the middle of the tears, it was because of Ben, who wanted to do good things more than anyone but did the worst, wanted to reform but was not believed by anyone, wanted to break out countless times but only a few times. The poor boy who finally...

    Fighting drugs is everyone's responsibility

    24-hour reunion, including 12-hour dog hunting.

    In 24 hours, they met the doctor who prescribed painkillers to Ben that made him addicted to the drug; met the history teacher who provided Ben with drugs for a long time; met the drug lord who used a dog to blackmail Ben into...

    Acting victory

    This film is a great show of acting.

    The mother (Julia Roberts) is undoubtedly the biggest bright spot, from the heartfelt joy when meeting her son Ben, to the sternness when warning her son to leave conditions, to the various entanglements when helping his son find a puppy. The best part is when...
