Don’t Make Me Go (2022) Amazon Prime

[BlackberryJam]

I love John Cho, and I’ve been missing my dad, so I gave this a go. So much of it was exactly what I was looking for. Especially the dancing, but that ending…

Yikes. That wasn’t the story I wanted to see. It didn’t flow or build to that. I didn’t need him to live, but I needed her to. A surprise dead teenager felt narratively off.

Isaac and Cho are wonderful together. Their banter is natural and I felt their bond. Very sweet film and will definitely tug the heartstrings of anyone who is missing their parent.

So I just watched this movie yesterday and I knew it would be a tear-jerker but I wasn't expecting that ending. In some ways it doesn't feel earned but in others it works for me.
