This won many accolades but I found it to be a strange mix of cliché/trite and a family drama that often hit the mark. The trailer essentially gave the entire story arc away. May's hesitations are never really explained and it seemed her fiancé might have had some as well. Their conversation also hint at their not being in sync but of course talking with unreliable connections in different time zones can do that for any interaction. I found the mothers changed views on attending the wedding strange.
The scenes of Jordan are engaging and beautiful, Some of the dialogue was jarring and trite but this is clearly a family that is enmeshed and fails to communicate. They just blurt things out at odd moments.
I am puzzled at the awards as much of this was a tearjerker with trite dialogue and was not well constructed IMHO.
