Collateral Beauty (2016)

I am wondering why I never heard about this movie (on Netflix). I loved it-it was such a surprise.

The cast is reason enough to watch: Will Smith, Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren...for starters.

The premise is sad; a child dies at the age of 6, this is the story of that baby's dad dealing with the aftermath and how his friends step in to help. It's a charming fantasy that gave me some comfort.

Love...Time...Death

I have a very ill relative who is dealing with bone cancer, so the comfort was welcome.
