Critics consensus

“Led by powerfully complementary performances from Christopher Abbott and Cynthia Nixon, James White offers an affecting calling card for debuting writer-director Josh Mond.”

It's not easy viewing by any means. But it is strangely refreshing for a movie to show us that terminal illness involves agony and vomit and terror, despite what Beaches might have told us.

Whether you want to spend time with "James White" depends on your tolerance for yet another film about how hard it is for guys who just feel too much.

The experience of watching "James White" is like being shut up in a small, dark, airless room ... a sickroom.

Cynthia Nixon is a heartbreaker as White's fading matriarch, giving a performance soaked in fever sweat and unsentimentally sobering.
