How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Vanessa Caswill directs the Colleen Hoover adaptation with more restraint than its screen predecessors: a mother out of prison petitions for access to the daughter she has never held while the grandparents' grief blocks the door. The film's honest interest in culpability and forgiveness gives it genuine emotional content; a beat structure visible from the opening scene keeps it at the Competent line.
