‘Miss You Already’
If you love Beaches, Miss You Already is right up your alley. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke and starring Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette, Dominic Cooper and Paddy Considine, the film follows long-life best friends Jess (Drew Barrymore) and Milly (Toni Collette) who find themselves reeling about Milly’s breast cancer diagnosis. As Milly struggles to keep save her marriage to her younger rock star husband Kit (Cooper) and keep her family together, Jess feels guilty about the happy news in her life — she is pregnant after years of trying with her husband Jago (Considine). Anchored by strong performances and Hardwicke’s keen direction, Miss You Already is a perfect antidote to ever popular bromance movies, celebrating the friendship between Milly and Jess in all its complexity and reminding audiences that women are capable of supporting each other through laughter and tears — though mainly tears in this moving film.
