      But where Boy was a sort of sad, gorgeous mood board, Ben has the clear arc of a drama told nearly in real time.Hedges is a flayed nerve, jittery and raw. ( Read More )
    • Christy Lemire

      But the performances remain uniformly strong and hold the story together, even as it threatens to spin out of control. ( Read More )
    • Sandie Angulo Chen

      Writer director Peter Hedges has brilliantly taken one of the pressing crises of our time the opioid epidemic and put one of Hollywoods most beloved actresses in the central role. ( Read More )
