Wanda has her hands full: her 8-month pregnant daughter wants a wedding which her ex-husband is flaking on paying for, her mother thinks she's dying, her wayward son is either going into rehab or the army, her long-time boyfriend doesn't excite her, but her new girlfriend doesn't either, and she barely has time for herself, not that she would know what to do with it anyway.

Critics Consensus

Gently amusing and wise while revolving around a terrific Edie Falco performance, this portrait of a people pleaser is mighty pleasing.

Since this is an actor-driven film, the flat visuals and standard formal approach would be fine if it weren’t for a distracting score that feels like iMovie temp music titled Indie Dramedy.

3.5/4

“I’ll Be Right There” is everything we hope for from an indie favorite. It’s got quirky but endearing and believable characters, sharp dialogue, and layered, moving performances from everyone in the cast.

We all likely know someone like Wanda, which makes I’ll Be Right There an enjoyable, intelligent character study.

Having a riveting performer such Falco as the focus elevates the movie and prevents it from going off the rails.

Movie shows ist is ok to do everything you can for the family without feeling used or feeling guilty because everybody thinks you are not letting the kids become independant and self reliant
