I laughed, I cried, I cringed, and….I ultimately wished Florence’s character had actually grown a spine. She could have done a number of things to resolve what her ex did to her and she just doesn’t. That’s one point that I feel wasn’t really resolved
(the punching bit and giving ONE sanctimonious speech is NOT growth)
and did irk me. I did like her family and the different perspective her father had regarding funerals. There were a couple of cringey lines (zoom-zoom juice?), but I did ultimately really like it despite some minor flaws.
