When to call a friend

This is not a summary, this is a review.

Do not expect action; do not expect much splatter, horror, or plot twists.

"Mr. Harrigan's Phone" is a coming-of-age story, and a reflection about loneliness, friendship, memories, guilt, death, modern communication, and what it does to us. It walks the line between slightly supernatural, and fully human.

It takes its time, is well filmed and acted, and does not try to be anything else.

And that's it. C C C sT
