The Deal: A recent divorce finds love with an up-and-coming chef after a chance encounter thrusting them into a decade-spanning but ill-fated romance.
Pugh pulls off a layered portrayal of a multifaceted character battling cancer while still being a mother, partner, and chef. Pugh’s chemistry with Garfield transcends dialogue. Garfield also shines in his nuanced and emotionally resonant portrayal – seemingly drawing from personal depths of grief, he delivers a performance that is raw, heartbreaking, and utterly captivating.
Watch This If: A thought-provoking love story and the exploration of life, love, and death.
