Sandler is sweetly attuned to Sophie, a sometimes tentative teenager. And Lynskey strikes a believable balance as both a fighter and a woman tired of the fight.

Knows how to wring authentic drama from its characters and this depressing situation. It’s another winner for this B-side of the Sander family and Happy Madison, although they might need to change the label to Sad Madison after this one
