This is a story about 2 hurt people who find each other and build a bond that strengthens them both. I found Brian Tyree Henry's performance inspiring. Less so for JLaw. The issue with this movie is it tries to convey everything through mood and display rather than interaction. Everything is under the surface and while that can ring true to life, its sometimes difficult to take in entertainment. Even the pivotal scene, that you know is coming, when our 2 characters have to finally let out some of the things they have been keeping from each other, ends up somewhat muted, and still a bit too reserved. So this movie is a bit unsatisfying at the end. I stll recommend you watch it for Henry's performance though, he really is at the top of his game.
