Spoiler Alert

Another emotional study of grief, couched in the rhythms of a fact-based romcom, adapts TV journalist Michael Ausiello’s memoir of his relationship with his late partner, Kit. The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons is Michael, who falls for Kit (Ben Aldridge of the new feature Knock at the Cabin) and vice versa, despite Michael’s extensive (and well-documented) Smurf collection. Their sometimes rocky romance, with support from Sally Field and Bill Irwin as Kit’s parents, is forever altered (spoiler alert) by Kit’s diagnosis with a rare cancerous tumor. Be sure to have tissues handy before starting this warm, funny-sad film.
