A daughter has to confront the possibility of losing her father at some point in her life. Unexpected loss is never easy to deal with, regardless of whether it results from old age, illness, or other unforeseeable situations. parents frequently hold the belief that keeping their kids in the dark about chronic health issues or other issues will keep them safe in the lead up to these events. Despite the fact that it doesn't always work out well, parents usually adhere to this idea. Don't Make Me Go, directed by Hannah Marks, is about the unanticipated complexities of life and making the decision to live in the now to save a loved one's future. It doesn't always take advantage of its advantages.
The plot centers on Max Park (John Cho), a rigid but devoted parent who learns that he has a deadly brain tumor and only has a small chance of surviving if he has the surgery recommended by his neurologist. Max devises a strategy to get his daughter Wally (Mia Isaac) ready for her terrible future in an effort to regain the remaining year of his life and spend it with her the best manner he can. The two embarked on a cross-country trip from california to New Orleans in order to bring Wally and her mother back together after she abandoned them when Wally was a newborn. Max must figure out a method to break the bad news to them despite the obstacles and disputes that are waiting for them the entire route.
The time it takes to discover Max's secrets is the only thing preventing Don't Make Me Go from attaining its full potential. Of course, the price is getting to spend more time with Max and Wally and seeing how their bond develops into one that candidly discusses being a single parent. However, it gives viewers no opportunity to process the major climax of Marks' film. The message about life's uncertainties and the unanticipated things that might happen to people along the way is quite obvious in this passage. Even if it succeeds in the end, it still comes out as a little forced.

It positions itself as a supporter of parents serving as students to their children while educating its audience about the importance of father-daughter interactions. It also works well in terms of character development and conflict, even though the build-up to the unexpected conclusion feels a little forced. Don't Make Me Go may not have a happy ending for most viewers, but sometimes the trip is more significant than the destination.
