14 Apr The Grio: ‘Never Better’: A coming-of-age tale that recalls those early days when the pandemic ruled our lives

The national experience of COVID quarantine had such a massive impact on the American psyche that I’m sure we’ll be seeing art about it for years. Never Better is a new film that grapples with the fear and loneliness of the quarantine days through the eyes of Terese, a twentysomething with cystic fibrosis. She’s played by the young actress Sofia Bryant, who told me she leaned a lot on her own quarantine experience.
