It’s sad and funny, unexpected and beautifully observed.

“Miss You, Love You” is a small film in scope, hence the bypassing of theaters for distribution on TV, but not in emotional payoff, as Diane and Jamie wrestle with a complex brew of resentment, recognition and, finally, forgiveness.

A virtual two-hander, “Miss You, Love You” is a rare accomplishment -- just enough of a good thing.

Miss You, Love You (Jim Rash, 2026) is a tearjerker elevated by outstanding performances and a deeply convincing sense of heartbreak.

With its intriguingly offbeat angles, the film is a punchy exploration of long-buried anger in relationships

The movie concerns the dysfunctional relationship between a mother and her son with sharp and intelligent dialogue, skillfully executed by Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells. One of the best movies to come out this year!

Masterfully acted. I almost gave 4.5 stars only because it is such a truly human story that it makes you reflect on your own loss and pain. And I need to go back and rewatch it immediately because I worry I didn’t give it the attention it deserves the first go around. Just like it deserves five stars. It is certainly more drama than comedy, but the two leads are so loveable despite - or perhaps because of - their flaws that you want to spend every possible second with them.

I wanted to love this because of Ms. Janney, but it was more like a Lifetime TV film that only affluent gay men from the Southwest would understand. Grieving sucks, and then to have strange religious wing-nuts sabotage it to suit their format was even worse! Rannells' performance was ok but his character was very odd to the storyline and plot. I still don't understand if he was actually a boyfriend or just an angel.

The lines, and the acting, come across to me as exceptional, and full of truth.

I absolutely LOVED this movie, it brought me laughter, sadness, and deep thinking about my own personal problems between my family. Andrew Rannells did an amazing job at acting in this movie (and others he starred in!). I definitely recommend this movie to everyone considering watching it.
