Good, but not as good as the commercial reviews make out. There doesn't seem to be sufficient motivation for Remini's suicide which makes the whole story weaker and less believable - even if it was based on a real childhood event of the director.

There's a lot of meta-tension as it navigates between various potential storylines - will their friendship develop into a full-lown ghomo love affair, will they drifting apart develop into toxic hate, will Remini's mother develop a relationship with her son's best friend - both before and after his death - mercifully none of these obvious things happen, but neither does evenetual redemption and reconcillation.  The death is simply not belivable.
