This movie gets overly dramatic as the plot progresses, but this can be a positive thing for some people.
I don't mind the excess of drama, sometimes it even makes me laugh, just like this movie did, especially at the end when everything was very exaggerated and it made me laugh, but most of the time I took it as a serious problem, something that can be counterproductive for some people since it exceeds the limit of drama that they can bear. I could not say if the story portrays the rehabilitation of an addicted person, since I have never been in that situation or people close to me, but what it does is sell that premise and convince the audience, thanks also to the good performances, although Mila Kunis has a hard time at first, then recovers, and thanks also to the development of the characters, which allows us to see them at their most vulnerable. The song of the credits is very good and in general it seemed to me that it was not a perfect movie but it caught my attention.
It is not a movie that preaches to the audience, even the story is very digestible and you can empathize with the characters, but the moments where there is too much drama affect the reception of this movie, especially because of the rushed and a bit ridiculous ending.
