‘Our Friend’ review: A moving, subtle testament to kindness
he chronicled for Esquire in 2015, about his friend coming to help out after his wife got sick. That deeply personal connection is evident.Non-linear, the story jumps back and forth through time, so in one scene we witness Nicole at her vibrant, bubbly best hosting a dinner party and, in the next, see disease ravaging her young, loving, artistic mind and body.Now and then, the seeming randomness of the timeline halts the momentum and, therefore, our investment.
