It follows a story of love, friendship, grief, and healing, about a writer who adopts a Great Dane that belongs to a deceased friend and mentor. Sigrid Nunez has revealed that she is pleased with how her book was presented in this film adaptation.. Screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 11, 2024 ( First Watch) Format: Regular Cinema. The story doesn’t know where it’s going, which is why it just keeps going on and The film feels more like a story between a dog and a grieving person to me, rather than about a suicidal writer who died and left his dog behind. It seemed very chaotic in this aspect and could have easily gone deeper in terms of this theme or shown a flashback to support Bill Murray’s character. Other than that, nothing special but overall, a sweet and warm film to watch!
