Howard is a prominent businessman and owns 60 percent of an advertising company. But he turns his back on both the company and his family after the loss of his 6-year-old daughter. Now he just spends his time playing dominoes, riding his bike and writing letters to “Love,” “Time” and “Death.”

When his co-executives have an opportunity to sell the company, Howard does not give his answer about the sale. So the group has to find a way to get him to sign the papers or show that he is mentally incompetent. Whit, the co-partner, along with Claire and Simon find a way by hiring three actors to play the roles of “Love,” “Time” and “Death.” In doing so, they also hire a private investigator to film the meetings between Howard and the actors. The film will be edited so the actors are not seen and it looks like Howard has lost all sense of reality.

This is a very sensitive movie about the loss of a child and the toll it takes on everyone around. It also demonstrates how important love is, how sometimes time can get away from individuals and how death scares most of us. Sometimes a loss can be looked at as “Collateral Beauty.” Although this is a very insightful film, unfortunately due to one use of the “F-word” we can not give our Dove approval.
