Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

phd_travel Liked the ensemble cast that includes Troian Bellisario of Pretty Little Liars but the story is ultimately unbelievable. It just doesn't ring true that a mother who is dying of illness wouldn't want to see her kids and say goodbye. The euthanasia assisted suicide matter aside that weakness is just the let down of this movie. And the burden placed on the caregiver daughter is kind of terrible.I wouldn't say this is a bad movie it just feels like a waste of time.

renatacarioca worse actresses ever. couldn't buy one single scene of it. Totally forced and pretentious movie with bad actresses making faces and trying hard to convince they're serious. Didn't work. When the mother dies (that's given) you think something unexpected it's gonna happen, but it's just a sequence of clichés about old memories and irrelevant sister's issues. It really does not fabricate a deep meaning into it. The sisters characters are very superficially constructed and even their relationships looks fake from the start. The film failed to bring us something to actually deal with other than a mother dying and reuniting her kids to sort it out. Dialogues are bad, poorly convincing and the girl's different personalities are full of clichés. Really don't get how it's rated with more than three or four stars.

rcarlberg This movie affected me very deeply because I was the primary caretaker for my own mother, who died in 2011 of a form of ALS. The issues involved were very close to the surface for me (still) and I reacted very emotionally to this beautifully crafted story.Unfortunately the timeline in the movie was grossly inaccurate. It took my mother eight agonizing years to lose the use of her body, bit-by-bit, and by the end she could neither talk nor communicate. She slowly lost the use of her legs about 4 years after her first stumbling signs of trouble, and lost the ability to write about 6 years in. She was bedridden for the last three years of her life, 100% mentally normal but slowly becoming encased in a body that would no longer respond to her.She refused a feeding tube when swallowing became a problem, and eventually had to die, three weeks later, from slow starvation. It was horrible. She BEGGED (when she still could) to be hastened toward death but by then there was nothing we could do. Washington's "Death With Dignity" law did not apply to her situation.So while the story here treated similar circumstances with compassion, there was an unrealistic portrayal of the true horrors of ALS.

asylumforimaginaryfriends A lot of people were raving about this film so I was excited to watch it but also expected to be a little bit disappointed; as it turns out, the positive reviews were well deserved. This was a beautiful film with enough twists to keep you glued to the screen, and phenomenal acting by all involved. Each of the characters was quirky enough to be unique and memorable whilst still being easy to relate to. Having not seen the play, I approached the film with no knowledge of the plot line outside of the trailer. It's a tear-jerker, although there are laugh out loud moments, and I'm now eager to see this as a stage play as well. Fingers crossed Lifetime will release the film on DVD as I'd really love to watch it again and share with my own sisters, who I think would relate to different characters and appreciate the film in different ways. Beautiful. I have a lot of feelings right now!
