The Friend

Naomi Watts, Bill Murray and Constance Wu star in this adaptation of Sigrid Nunez's bestselling novel about life, friendship, and one good dog.

Iris (Watts) finds her comfortable New York life upended when her friend and mentor Walter (Murray) bequeaths her his Great Dane, Apollo. The regal yet intractable beast is a constant reminder of Walter and causes various problems—yet as Iris bonds with Apollo, she begins to cope with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.
