★ 9/10
An all around great film that,not surprisingly, had been put out by the number one streaming company on the globe. Ellen Paige & Allison Janney performed tremendously together and nailed the parts given to them. The film brings up many provoking thoughts. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of comedic dramas and ranked it a 4.3/5
