Suze

This was so freaking adorable. Like a cuddly warm hug, it made me laugh so hard at times, the script is so fun and fresh, but it also made me cry a lot because damn I've been there, I suffer from depression and I felt like Gage before and Charlie's acting threw me off that water tower, so damn good, so raw, I felt it all, damn the boy can act and damn the boy can SING, literal chills, he manages to portray this character in a way that's so beautiful to see, so real. And how sweet is the relationship between the two of them, they needed each other and they didn't even know it, some connections are just the magic we need, the little push we need when we're in the depth of darkness, that kind of mutual understanding and love that makes you want to keep going. So special. I want that. Sweet sweet. Loved it. It's what movies should do.

I had no idea what to expect from this Canadian indie but this movie ended up being exctly what I needed on a cold rainy night. Suze and Gage left me feeling hopeful about the world and their performances (by the amazing Charlie Gillespie and Michaela Watkins) were quite charming! The daughter reminded me way too much of my own (lol!)

I laughed, I teared up, and I actually look forward to watching it again. I find there aren't that many films about kindness out there and I think we need more of that.

So nice to see Michaela in a leading role as well. I always enjoy seeing her in shows but didn't know her name but I'll never forget it now.

If you want to have your heart warmed, check this out. It's such a sweet lil' love story!

What a pleasant surprise! Good acting, good story, funny, exciting, dramatic, all at the same time! Good music as well.

Suzy, a single mother who's absolutely loving her about to go to college daughter but hating her boyfriend Gage. She is crashed by her daughter leaving for the college and moving to Montreal. Then she lets Gage to stay with her helping him overcome his "accident" becoming his guardian and things get really interesting. Felt sorry for Gage cause my mom was great and his oh well how to put it? When he went to see his mom I didn't realize it was a prison I thought she was a mental patient! Gabe reminded me of my friend back in the day so maybe that's why I enjoyed this movie so much!

I was prepared not to like this movie, and almost didn't bother watching it at all. It kind of looked like it would be one of those throwaways, too dumb to take seriously, a waste of time.

Boy, was I was wrong. I absolutely loved it. The acting by the three leads was great, exceptional really, and everybody else was believable and seemed real. The story was very good - interesting, funny, and charming. Whoever put this together really has something going for them, I liked everything about it. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with it, and I usually find something. The most pleasant surprise I can remember watching a movie.

I really loved this movie! Sweet and heartfelt, beautifully acted, with so many funny, silly, emotional and awkward moments... I will definitely tell all my family and friends to watch this! I always expect to enjoy Michaela Watkins in a movie, but Charlie Gillespie as costar was a beautiful surprise! They had a lovely chemistry that built organically, and the singing/piano moment will live in my head rent-free forever. A gentle exploration of so many subjects - love, loss, change, resilience, mental health issues for both youth and adults, the impacts of life's milestones, adult loneliness, giving your whole self to relationships without consideration of one's self- it really tugged at the heartstrings without leaving me feeling wrung out, because the overwhelming message was hope and the importance of self-care and human connection. This is something I think all of us have been feeling more and more following the pandemic. I'm so thankful for the folks who brought us these stories and these characters with these actors. So watch this movie, you won't regret it.
