The film is less driven by story and more by mood, focusing on using the time between health and illness to achieve beauty and love. The movie is based on a play and movie barely anyone has ever heard of, with Jimmy set to perform in a stage play. The director and writer, Ira Sachs, gives Jimmy a stripped-down mythology and legacy, while there are also some emotional beats with his sister Brenda (Rebecca Hall), who is grateful that he is currently healthy but devastated, processing that he's still on borrowed time. However, the film's pacing can be a bit of a test, while it houses arguably Malek's best performance.
