The Real Review

The film is a hit, with Bella Ramsey's performance as the reluctant teenager Ivy being the undeniable heart of it. The story, about a cancer survivor finding connection at a summer camp, is well-liked for its emotional honesty and humor, even if some feel it covers familiar ground. A few find the pacing slow, but that's a niche complaint compared to the overwhelming praise for the acting and the moving experience it delivers.
