A nice, gentle, family orientated movie. Ginger guy's acting is amazing (again). It is not complex, and stays mostly in the shallow end of the pool of life. Its about love and loss, a lot of movies have been made about this. This one didnt necessarily add something that wasn't there. But it was a nice gentle, watch. Many may only focus on the pain, but I see a very privileged woman lucky enough to have so many family around here that love her. That is a super rich life. One time watch. No favourite.

The overall rating for this movie does not do it justice. A movie about life from so many angles - a matriarch battling cancer, a gay son struggling for acceptance, children watching the affects of cancer on someone they love, a husband trying - and sometimes failing - to care for his wife as she loses her strength. In its raw view of reality, it is beautiful. And worth watching.

This film tells the story of a young writer who goes back home to take care of his gravely ill mother. I have the misconception that it is a comedy because Jesse Plemons is in it. The first half of the film is quite funny in a morbid way, and then the second half of the film is just very depressing. The story is very engaging because all the main characters are well crafted and the story telling is excellent. There are no filler scenes at all. I particularly care for the writer and his mother. I feel their pain. I just never expected this film to be so so good.

Of all the "dying" movies I've seen this one is the best. It's a great cast with top-notch performances. Usually these types of movies try to be hankies all the way through so they are so overdone they are almost a caricature. Not so this movie. No spoilers from me. I highly recommend.

Although it does have fun moments, this is not enough to make up for the underinspired plot.

IMDb.com classifies this 2016 film as a comedy/drama. Well there are one or two laughs but they are of the nervous variety. The focus here is on drama. A struggling comedy writer, played by Jesse Plemons is fresh off a breakup and in the midst of the worst year of his life. He returns to Sacramento, to the bosom of his family to care for his dying mother, Molly Shannon in an outstanding performance. Train's "Drops of Jupiter" features several times during the movie; the lyrics of which deal with someone dying. Lead singer Patrick Monahan has stated that the song was inspired by his late mother, who had died after a struggle with cancer. It is apt. Other People is writer Chris Kelly's first big screen outing as director. He is also currently an Emmy-nominated Co-Head Writer at "Saturday Night Live". Other People debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016. Molly Shannon won Best Supporting Female at the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards while Jesse Plemons was nominated for Best Male Lead; Chris Kelly for Best First Screenplay and all deservedly so. Above all this is a human drama. Multi-layered, the story is about the illness and death of the family's mother from cancer. It also deals with the father's reaction and his lack of acceptance of his son being gay. To borrow a line from Captain Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan – "how we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life" Have the tissues ready. A solid 4 out of 5.

Let it be known that the minute I finished this movie I felt the need to review it and somehow personally let Chris Kelly know how much of a fan I am of this work. I'm not great with words and I've never written a review before, so please bear with me on this one. I watched this on a whim while I was at home on a Saturday. Chris Kelly told a wonderful story and directed a wonderful movie. I laughed so much and I cried harder than ever before during this one. All the feels were felt, and isn't that how a good movie is supposed to make you feel? I knew going into this I wouldn't be disappointed as I was highly impressed with the cast, but it's really the writing and directing that did it for me. This was a really beautiful project and I cannot wait to see and hear more dramatic work from the talented Chris Kelly.

Be careful - this film might just break your heart ! It took me a while to warm to this, totally unspectacular and unpolished as it first appears. It just observes a family's interactions as the mother is slowly dying from cancer, with the focus on the young gay son who has come back home to help look after her. At times it feels hardly like a 'movie', there is such a sense of simple observation. There were moments where it almost seemed to be a documentary and I felt like I was eavesdropping on a real family's real pain and grief. Increasingly I became aware of the film being rich with ever-so-subtle elements, easily missed, gradually deepening an atmosphere of great authenticity. It is a sad film, but also (astonishingly) with a wonderful sense of wry humour and real warmth. A million miles away from Hollywood, this gem could be easily overlooked. Don't !
