What I liked

So wonderful. A heavy topic handled with warmth, charm, humor, and seriousness when it was called for. Loved the song about your mom’s stuff.

What I didn't like

You’ve a lot to be proud of here, can’t think of one thing!

My overall impression

You will fall in love with Rachel and her love for her mom. She makes their relationship very present and real, with playful and imaginative flourishes throughout. The magic file cabinet was genuinely delightful, and the (spoiler alert) death scene was so emotionally real and beautifully conceived… I realized then that the tissues handed out in the beginning were no gimmick!
