There's nothing stellar here in terms of storytelling or performances, but I walked away from this movie feeling that I watched something that way put together by people who cared about the subject matter. As I said, Kunis and Close really do carry this film from start to finish and I've never seen Kunis go as far, dramatically, as she did here, so props to her for that as well. This set-up works perfectly for a film that will inevitably have a few emotional gut punches along the way. With that said, here's why I believe Four Good Days doesn't really warrant a recommendation, even though you'll appreciate the film if you were to still give it a go.Īfter many years of drug addictions, Molly (Mila Kunis) returns home to seek help from her mother, Deb (Glenn Close), who at this point, wants nothing more to do with her. When you have devoted performances, you can easily extend the length of your film, especially if they're carrying it well on their shoulders. Four Good Days is one of the latest true stories to be released and while everything about it felt like it was made by a team who cared, I didn't think it completely worked as a narrative feature. Sometimes a film comes along that suffers from not enough story to come by, being based on a true story, or simply trying too hard to expand a simple premise.
