This movie was on my watch-list only because Johnny Depp was in it. It turned out that his character, although the whole story rotates about him, shows up for just a few minutes, but instead I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent cast. I never saw Toni Collette before, but she was awesome carrying her role and basically the whole movie. And if I knew that Ryan Eggold is one of the main actors this movie would be on my watch-list even if there was no Johnny Depp.
This is slow and easy emotional drama about rock reporter whose career withers away and who gets the assignment to write an article about the popular musician who went missing decade ago, leaving behind his career and her, his long-term girlfriend. While it was generally accepted that he committed suicide, his body was never found and she has several reasons to believe he is still somewhere out there. Accompanied by another ex-boyfriend, who wants to shot a documentary about the whole thing, she begins the quest to find him. While searching for answers for her article, in the process she explores her own past, her emotions and meaning of own life. At the end she finds not exactly what she was searching for, but what she needed to take back control over her own life and future. This is not a cinematographic masterpiece, but it is a warm human story in which we can all find parts of ourselves, cause every one of us, at least once in our lives, had some part of our past dragged along for too long.
7,5/10
