🎯 Plot Flow:
After the suicide of her best friend Walter, Iris inherits his
Great Dane, Apollo. Reluctantly she takes him in. As she learns to care for the massive, grieving dog, Iris confronts her own grief, guilt, and the legacy Walter left behind. Over time, their strange bond helps both heal.
🎭 Highlights:
Naomi Watts gives a dignified, understated performance as Iris. Apollo (the dog) is a powerful co-character — his presence communicates loss, loyalty, and emotional weight. Supporting cast (Bill Murray in flashbacks, Carla Gugino, Constance Wu etc.) add texture.
✅ Gentle storytelling + emotional heart + strong human-animal connection
⚠️ Slow pacing in parts + sometimes vague narrative decisions + less dramatic stakes than expected
🔥 Verdict: A quiet, touching film about grief, friendship, and healing — perhaps not spectacular, but deeply human and lingering in the heart.
