Duplass's See You When I See You Struggles to Break the Grief Mold

TL;DR Summary
Duplass’s See You When I See You, based on Adam Cayton-Holland’s memoir about his sister’s suicide, is earnest and intimate, anchored by Cooper Raiff’s strong lead and a convincing ensemble, but it leans on familiar indie-grief tropes and relies on a few awkward stylistic devices that undercut its raw honesty, resulting in a heartfelt yet uneven Sundance tragedy-comedy.
