In The Friend, writer and teacher Iris (Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Murray) dies suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend’s problematic choices in both life and death. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.

I'm a petsitter, and I tend to have more dogs than cats or anything else; I have been blessed by all the dogs that I have sat the past 18 years and I know that it is not a coincidence that God and dog are made of the same letters. Something about a dog that is healing, teaching, and loving that I can't explain. Everyone has had almost a supernatural essence and I am better than before the encounter.
Looks absolutely awful. Zero chemistry between them.
Love a good rom-com
I recognized the story right away! I bought the book by Sigrid Nunez several years ago… She has many wonderful books to read! Excited for her and hoping for more of her stories to be made into movies!
New York dog owners are the worst.
I agree. Dogs are heavenly.
The book was excellent. This movie looks equally worthwhile.
I see a future of them doing more projects together… they are so good together on screen ….
But does the dog die? Unwatchable if yes
I may just go see this in Charleston at the Terrace Theatre, in honor of our Bill Murray, and Great Danes!
This really looks beautiful
Our neighbor left behind 4 cats, and I ended up with one of them. Nobody wanted a Black Cat.
Bill Murray looks terrible .
I hope the dude is seeing a doctor .
My dog mess up everything just like in the trailer when I left him
Ohh this is the same thing going to happen with me that story I've just like that dog 🐕 that I lost before few months
I have a neighbor who did this. The dog is tiny, it's owner passed. Life goes on, or not… still a beautiful thing.
I like Bill Murray movies… it's relaxing, funny and often with deeper meaning.
what is about the dogs they make such good actors 🥹
Loved the book. Can't wait to see the movie.
I’m here for Bing!
This looks really pleasant and I love that the dog got a credit.
Amazing and heartfelt, looking forward to the film and the whole story! Thank you! 😎👍
That's a big 🐶🐕
