John Anderson Wall Street Journal 2d
A virtual two-hander, “Miss You, Love You” is a rare accomplishment -- just enough of a good thing. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian 2d
4/5
As conventional as it might seem -- a two-hander tracking a familiar path for strangers who overcome tension to form an emotional bond -- there’s also more grit and specificity than one might expect. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take 2d
2.5/4
