And this scene right here is where you see the contrast between the past versus everything from then on. Everything is warm and cheerful in the beginning, but Beth's death changes the tone of every scene after. It's interesting how that's reflected in the cinematography by giving every scene after Beth's death a cooler, bluish lighting to represent how her death changed the entire family.

[magnuskarpakis]

I love how Beth just quietly looks at her family being happy and joyful and smiles fondly

[mackielunkey]

Holy crap, I loved Amy's reaction to Saul coming home.

[Elle-houu]

When Jo wakes up the second time looking for Beth, probably expecting she was downstairs because that already happened before, but was faced by the hard truth of Beth's death, I just lost it.

[ricimercury]

Many complained about the shifting flashbacks to present. But I person love it, it creates more impact as to compare to linear story structure

[ucnksdh]

I love the part when Laurie decided to Better Call Saul and immediately Called Saul to the place. A very heartwarming moment.

Greta Gerwig’s parallelism of the two was just perfect. It was really hard to fight down the tears when this played out in theaters.

[jorjaaustin]

I remember sitting in a cinema and watching this movie with my Gran when it first came out. She loved this book as a child and i remember her handing me a tissue because we were both crying so hard. She passed away quite suddenly about eight months ago so this scene really hits close to home now

[manders]

When I saw this I was sitting behind a mom and her daughters. One of the girls was about 8 or 9 and she turned to her mom after this scene and asked sadly, "Mama, what happened?" and I was already a wreck and that made it SO MUCH WORSE

[emmajean]

I know this is such an emotional scene but every time Bob Odenkirk shows up and says "my little women" I crack up

[jmiller]

When Marmee briefly ties Jo's dress to try and escape her grief for a moment is so heartbreaking.

[alisonbarlow]

"thank God you're home."
"Thank God for you."
"Now I can be angry with you in person."

[aprilfuul]

The movie theater I was in was DYING laughing when Odenkirk showed up.

[Annie.Andell]

I saw this movie in the theaters when it first came out and during this scene the entire theater was silent, its like you could hear a pin drop

[AeroHybrid]

The moment when Saul Goodman became Father Goodman

Bravo Vince!

[centerstagestudios]

This scene makes me cry every time I see it. So well done.

[dgizcyk]

This scene was so heartwarming (between the two depressing scenes) their father coming back and me waiting the whole movie knowing Saul Goodman is their dad. I kept cracking jokes to myself everytime I saw him thinking he would say “I might think of going to law school” making myself funny

[once.upon.a.time.]

I think Beth's death in this movie was more sad than in the book. At least in the book you knew that Beth had accepted her death was inevitable, and she was okay with being sent back to her god. The grief here is a lot stronger, though perhaps that's more so because you can actually physically see it.

[Thelightbringer]

Kevin Costner was so good in this movie.

[lucypeterson]

I think that this movie is proof that Bob Odenkirk immediately makes any movie better with his presence, even though it was already amazing before.
