When a successful New York ad executive suffers a personal tragedy and retreats from life, his friends devise a drastic plan to reach him before he loses everything. Pushing him to the very edge, they force him to confront the truth in surprising and profoundly human ways. From Oscar-winning director David Frankel, this thought-provoking drama explores how even the deepest tragedy can reveal moments of beauty, and how the constants of love, time and loss interlock in a life fully lived.

Critics Consensus: Well-meaning but fundamentally flawed, Collateral Beauty aims for uplift but collapses in unintentional hilarity.

Reviews

Washington Blade

Brian T. Carney

Collateral Beauty went to great lengths to depict a diverse Manhattan, except for the fact that no openly LGBT people are visible anywhere in the film.

Collateral Beauty should be seen by no one, not even ironically, as its device-laden attempt to draw out tears remains calculating, absurdly structured, and borderline offensive.

I agree that it's emotionally manipulative but it's also inspirational and a heartwarming, if unrealistic, reminder to see the beauty all around us...

The closest this train wreck will get to Oscar is if some guy with that name makes the poor choice to go see it during its theatrical run.

The worst thing here, perhaps, is that it seems to be Frankel's direction that convolutes everything.
