Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Is this really an honest portrait of a beautiful and intense friendship between women? What's intense about it, or beautiful, or honest?
In the march to the end, "Miss You Already" grinds its gears through the late stages of cancer, following a predictable and cliche path. Each scene is a yank on the heartstrings, a poke in the tear ducts, its intents and machinations plainly obvious.
It observes, rather astutely, that there is a power imbalance in a certain kind of friendship where one half plays the ringleader and scene-stealer while the other is the sidekick and enabler.
Part-"Cake," part-"50/50" and a whole lot of "Beaches" ...
