Another wonderful evening with the DWC Film Group! 🎬 Last night we discussed The Upside starring Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman — a heartfelt movie based on a true story about the unexpected friendship between a caregiver and a paraplegic. Great film, great discussion, and even better company!
