For a second after looking at that poster, I thought Florence was giving Morgan Freeman a ride on the back of her bike.

A rare theatrical movie for Freeman these days. His other newest movie is a straight to Red Box action thriller called The Ritual Killer.
As for this one, It looks alright. Not something I would rush to the theater to see.

Watched this. It has the usual tone we get from Braff. Made me teary eyed through most of it. It was largely about her addiction and I thought it was portrayed well and mostly felt authentic.

I liked this too and Braff can continue to write and direct movies like this and I will be there to watch.
It was not all dark or melancholy and had lots of moments of humor.
I was not a huge Molly Shannon fan when she was on SNL but as I got older I appreciate her work in movies.

I thought this was OK. Morgan Freeman was really good in this. I thought he was semi-retired, but I looked at his filmography, and I just haven't seen anything he's done in the past decade. I'd love to see more performance from him like this on the regular.
As for the rest of the movie, I thought it was too contrived in some places. It also felt like a really long movie, even though it was only 2 hours. I like Molly Shannon's recent work too, but her role in this didn't do anything for me. Pugh was fine, but I think she's done better in other movies. Still, the movie was pretty engrossing.

This was really affecting. Very good. Pugh was amazing. Freeman always good. A lot of touches of Braff’s style. You can tell in shots similar to Garden State. But, I liked this. Liked it a lot. Not nearly as much as GS, but still very good. Engrossing.

I watched this on Prime. I thought it was really good. None of Braff's cutesy stuff in this one. Pugh was great.

I don't recall hearing of this one, but it sounds interesting. Pugh looks really young in that poster, and it turns out it was filmed in 2021 but released in 2023.

It was not that bad
Maybe the only person that liked French Girl though Braff did not write or direct that one.
