What I liked

The juxtaposition of humor and tragedy is masterfully handled, offering moments of relief without undermining the gravity of the situation. It’s a delicate balance, one that Grove navigates with sensitivity and skill, allowing the audience to connect with the protagonist’s pain and resilience.

What I didn't like

The lamp in the beginning with no shade was a little blinding, but honestly am scraping the barrel at finding something to improve. It was excellent.

My overall impression

“I’ll Be With You in a Minute,” is an unflinchingly raw and profoundly moving exploration of love, loss, and the relentless creep of uncontrollable anxiety. The narrative is poignantly honest, revealing the struggle of witnessing a parent’s decline into dementia—a term Grove chooses over Alzheimer’s to somehow soften the blow. This choice alone speaks volumes about the human need to protect ourselves from the full impact of such devastating realities.
