Review of 'The Rest of Us'

Quite good Canadian film about...well, it's not that easy to summarize. Successful divorced children's book author discovers that her ex has died suddenly, and then the women for whom he left her is suddenly broke because the now-dead husband was concealing his dire financial situation...and the bitter, broke widow and her sweet young daughter end up moving in with the author and her grumpy disaffected teen daughter.

It's well acted and nicely done, and though you couldn't call it enjoyable in a feel-good sort of way it's compelling enough to watch. Heather Graham has graduated nicely from so-nubile sexpot to still-attractive but fading divorced wife.

Watched on Netflix.
