Miss You, Love You: A quiet, piercing grief drama anchored by Janney

A tightly written two-hander about grief and aging, Miss You, Love You centers on Diane (Allison Janney) as she navigates anger and sorrow after her husband’s death, with Jim Rash’s sharp script and direction delivering intimate, non-clichéd exchanges and a standout performance that elevates the film beyond its small, self-contained scope. Though occasionally neat, the drama’s emotional punch resonates, and HBO will premiere it after Sundance, where it generated early buzz.
