Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Admirable film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I have only seen this movie once, when it originally premiered and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. After all these years I still think it's Michael Keaton's finest performance. With that said it's highly unlikely that I would ever see "My Life" again, too sad, to emotionally draining. The sadness isn't just because of his illness and untimely death but his inner struggle with his family and heritage speaks volumes to many 1st generation Americans who have and do struggle with the same feelings. Nicole Kidman and Queen Latifah are very good in their perspective roles.It's a good movie and worth seeing but be prepared to cry and reflect on your own mortality.

This movie just blew me away. It was such an incredible life-comparison film. It guided you to the core of a deep relationship between a man and a woman who are going through a difficult family crisis. I for one can compare my life to this film, i've been through a a very difficult time where i was losing both my grandparents and it's very, very hard to deal with.I think, in some cases, it's difficult to make an emotional tragedy film (along with other genres too, of course), and i'm very proud of the actors, writers, producers, and every single person involved in "My Life" because they couldn't have made it any greater than it already is.This film instantly delivers you into its atmosphere and shows you reality. Life isn't fair, and we all have to live it that way. Many individuals take advantage of life, but you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.Bob Jones: "Dying's a really hard way to learn about life".My personal opinion of what i think this quote means is that dying shows you how great and brutal life can be and it should be an honor that you have had the chance of experiencing it, even though death is frightening.

This is one of those movies i watch so i can feel like life is worth living. It truly makes you think about why your here and what will it be like when your not. The last scene in the movie is perfect, and if you have kids you'll get it. If not, then try again after you have them, if your ever lucky enough. Michael Keaton is my favorite actor. From this to Pacific Heights to Batman, he's truly versatile and displays a humanistic quality in every character he portrays. I don't know many people who've scene this , i think its one of the rarely know jewels, but at the same time , i think its one of those movie that people relate to only if they look at life in the same way.

For anyone struggling with cancer or have a family member facing death, this is a must see,,, a real tear jerker and a real healing experience. If you have family issues, resentments, difficulty with parents or siblings or children, rent this movie. It can be very therapeutic. It may get you to appreciate those you love a little more. This movie has a great combination of emotions from belly laughs to rivers of tears, to heart wrenching sadness. If you are afraid of death, rent this. If you are afraid of a loved one's imminent death, see this film. Watch it as a family. Michael Keaton does superb acting, and really should have been an Academy nominee.
