The Friend

2 hr 3 min

R

Naomi Watts portrays a New York novelist whose quiet existence is disrupted by the death of her closest friend and mentor - played by Bill Murray – who leaves his 150 pound Great Dane for her to look after. This is both a logistical challenge and an existential dilemma, as the dog is a constant reminder of her lost companion. THE FRIEND is a poignant story of love, friendship, and the journey towards healing. Also with Constance Wu.
