In Lieu of Flowers
Why we love it ❤️
POV: your bestie passes suddenly and you're stuck cleaning out her room, but also protecting her secrets from her parents 💔 The film earns its grief by making Frances and Taylor actually disagree about who Megan was, which turns the premise into a real interrogation of friendship. Bittersweet and messy in a way that will have you thinking about your own people.
