The Friend
A meditation on grief told with delicacy, depth and an abundance of humor, THE FRIEND is an exquisite testament to the human spirit. Adapting the National Book Award–winning novel by Sigrid Nunez, Scott McGehee and David Siegel (MONTANA STORY, THE DEEP END) deliver another wise, insightful character drama, this time leavened both by delightful comedic scenes and by the ever-calming presence of one giant, soulful dog. Iris (Naomi Watts) has had a long, complex friendship with Walter (Bill Murray), an irresistible charmer, a brilliant author, a lover of many women and a master at letting down loved ones. When he dies suddenly, Iris is left to deal with all he left behind — three ex-wives with unfinished business, his interrupted literary legacy and his beloved beast Apollo. Watts delivers a career-best performance here, weaving New York confidence through the anxieties of a struggling writer. Life is complicated, and McGehee and Siegel gracefully reflect that by crafting a film with both depth and lightness that is sure to warm your heart.DramaPT2HR2025-04-04Naomi Watts
