What I liked

Well paced, wonderfully expressive, and heartbreakingly funny. Very well polished performance with incredible energy throughout. The pacing of jumping forward and backward through time parallels the emotional highs and lows very well.

What I didn't like

The phone recording portions can be a bit hard to understand, specifically when everyone is laughing at some of their best bits. Maybe in an expanded show captioning could help here?

My overall impression

A beautiful and cathartic exploration of grief. Emotional whiplash in the best possible sense. Oscillating between tears running down my face and deep belly laughs within less than a minute.
