The film may have been filmed by Reitman into a romantic drama, but was dissatisfied by many film critics. "The Guardian" commented that in this film about the lives of middle-aged women, there is no breath of life, lack of texture and moving plot. "Chicago Tribune" claimed that the top actors in the film also failed to save the film. The New York Times pointedly pointed out that this romantic drama should be a Nicholas Sparks movie. But this does not mean that the film is bad. It can only be said that compared with the director's previous work, Reitman's film did not meet the expectations of film critics. In addition, there are some positive reviews. The Christian Science Monitor said that the film is very touching. "Newark Star Chronicle" claimed that the film is not a blockbuster film or an Oscar film, but this film is simple enough and absolutely moving. It is a film made by adults for adults to watch. The "New York Observer" commented that the film is full of details and the story is outstanding, which is a lot of emotion. The Los Angeles Times said that if you have a past, then this movie has taught you that you can get true love by letting go of the past. The "Hollywood Reporter" commented that the film is nuanced and gorgeous. (

A woman who lacks a husband and a boy who lacks father’s love can comfort each other when they meet an'almighty' handsome man and a chef, and it is not unreasonable. The plot is slow and the pictures are beautiful. If you can dig deep into the sins lurking in the boy's heart, change to a miserable one. What a great ending. But I am very happy to participate in the screening and the award ceremony of the film festival.

The three leading actors are well received, the supporting roles are also very good, the story is very miserable

Henry: I don't think losing my father broke my mother's heart, but rather losing love itself.

Adult Henry: It was just the two of us after my father left. She said I should count the baby he had with his new wife Marjorie as part of my family too. Plus Richard, Marjorie's son. For the most part my mother never mentioned my father, or the woman he was married to now.
