I enjoyed this interesting examination of friendship and preparing for death. The premise comes with conflict built in—one friend is ill and tired of waiting for death so ready to take his own life, the other friend is not ready to let him go so trying to remind him why he should stick around.
This was also an interesting variation on road trip movies, with the vehicle being the sick friend’s wheelchair and them just traveling around their town (Dublin, Ireland).
I thought the script was quite good. Interesting characters and plot developments. I kept wondering how it was going to end, and was surprised by the ending while being delighted how it had all been set up earlier and fit naturally with the characters. That’s a sign of very good writing.
