I saw Friend at NYFF to an appreciative and applauding crowd
Chronology
It follows a story of love, friendship, grief, and healing about a writer who adopts a Great Dane that belonged to a deceased friend and mentor. Since most authors don’t like film adaptations of their books, Sigrid Nunez said she was pleased with the way her book was presented in this film adaptation.
Iris is a complex character, played movingly by Naomi Watts
It’s a multi-dimensional story of sadness, where we don’t know if the person supports the animal or vice versa. We try to understand Walter’s character by interacting with his near and dear ones.
But ultimately it’s Apollo who helps everyone find their own path in life
The backdrop of New York City, in which the story is based, was also incredible. It has its own character as Iris and Apollo go about their daily lives among millions of people.
One of the best movies with animal actors
Finally, a great shout out to the dog who plays Apollo.
