Plot
Wish You Were Here (2025) is the feature debut of director Julia Stiles, adapted from Renée Carlino’s bestselling novel. The film shows Charlotte (played by Isabelle Fuhrman), a woman looking for meaning after a perfect night with a stranger. When the man, Adam (Mena Massoud), disappears but later reappears in a hospital with a terminal illness, Charlotte decides to help him live his last days fully. Co-starring Jennifer Grey and Kelsey Grammer as her parents, the film is heartfelt and romantic—warm yet sad. Released in theaters on January 17, 2025, it later became available for digital rental and sale. While reviews were mixed, Fuhrman’s performance and the emotional storytelling were warmly received.
