Terrific performances and an authentic portrait of a heartbreaking illness mark the touching drama What They Had.

This middling snoozefest demonstrates that good performances, a plausible story line, and relatable emotional content are not enough to make a movie interesting.

It had moments of truth in it, but I didn't think that as a film it was particularly effective.

What They Had is a deep but bearable drama, in which cinema once again shows us that the main thing in it is a good story. In addition, it has very successful small touches of humor, even in the ending with a metaphor of a turkey.
