IF
{4.5/5} “It wasn’t until much later that I realized that these stories she wanted me to tell had nothing to do with her at all. Then I realized that the most important stories we have to tell are the ones we tell ourselves.”
IF, released in 2024
Bea’s mom died and now her dad is getting surgery at the same hospital her mom stayed at. She’s staying with her grandma, where she stayed when her mom was sick. Bea’s dad is always making jokes, whereas she’s a bit more serious since she’s 12. Then she sees some creatures that really shouldn’t exist. It turns out they are imaginary friends, or IFs.
This movie is imaginative and has a unique premise.
It’s lots of fun.
Stars Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, and Fiona Shaw. Directed by John Krasinski (A Quiet Place Part II).
