The Friend
2025, 120 min, R
When the best friend and mentor of a single, middle-aged woman (Naomi Watts) suddenly dies, she is asked to provide a new home for his lovable, but massive Great Dane dog (Bing). She is initially reluctant, as every aspect of caring for a canine (especially a large one) in New York City quickly surfaces. Primarily about how dog ownership can change your existence, THE FRIEND has genuinely funny, poetic and sincere moments concerning choices you make and struggles you have to deal with. Bill Murray, Ann Dowd and Carla Gugino co-star.
