What They Had

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 7.0

After an elderly woman wanders into a blizzard, her daughter returns to her Chicago hometown with her own daughter. The family must face difficult decisions about care while long-standing tensions, buried frustrations, and complicated relationships come to the surface.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a bittersweet, actor-driven family drama about dementia, complicated relationships, and difficult caregiving choices; Not for you if you prefer lighter stories or tightly paced plots.
