Overview
- The film debuted on Netflix on Friday, June 19, and climbed to number two on the service’s film chart within hours of release.
- The story centers on Jill, played by Zoey Deutch, who copes with her sister’s death by leaving voicemails to her old number that have been reassigned to Wes, played by Nick Robinson, without revealing plot twists or endings.
- Reviewers and interviews highlight Zoey Deutch’s performance as the emotional anchor of the film and note Nick Robinson’s warm turn despite the role asking for audience forgiveness.
- Critics have raised consistent concerns about the screenplay’s uneven tone and the ethical plausibility of the voicemail conceit, saying the movie often hesitates between serious grief drama and rom‑com conventions.
- The project began as a 2019 spec script, was delayed by the pandemic and strikes, was shot mainly in Vancouver with a three‑day San Francisco shoot, and features a prominent soundtrack that reviewers say amplifies its emotional tone.
