Better Late Then Never

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Obviously we all have seen hundreds of movies when someone is counting his last days. This one is not what anyone can expect.Watch it from heart, believe in writer and director and try to listen the message in movie. It can change your life. Its sad, funny, refreshing, keep you hooked till last minute and takes your entire night thinking on it.Special movies are not for everyone. If you are little depressed, lonely, missing something in life other than money, the message in movie will teach you life. Take my suggestion, watch the movie and see if you are like all others or different.

I confess, I didn't see the very beginning, so I shouldn't be reviewing this movie. However, I did see most of the movie and found it to be very interesting, reflecting a beauty of its own. Saffron was an excellent choice for this character, though the script could have been a bit more imaginative for her. It does make you think, however, of the many different scenarios that could arise from such a dilemma/blessing in disguise. My big disappointment came at the end when she got with the band and the song she seemed to really enjoy playing sucked so bad! The song accompanying the titles at the end would have been a better choice for her big moment on stage. I also think they could have developed the characters more - they seemed really shallow. But the film did make me want to throw all my clothes out the window!

The storyline is engaging and thought provoking. There were moments where I felt inspired by the main character's plight.However, throughout the movie, I could not help but feel irked by a number of the unoriginal and overused techniques the director employed to force the audience to feel something. For example: the slow, melodramatic montage scenes in which the main character twirls in the sunlight with a shawl wrapped around her; the scenes in which the main character, reflecting on her childhood,is shown as a 7 year old girl sitting sadly by herself on the stairs as she watches and hears her parents argue.There was also a lack of honesty about the character. One example in which this lack of honesty manifested itself was in the 'heroin-chic' appearance that the main character took on as she rapidly accepted that she was going to die. This says more about the director and the director's 90's influence than it does about the actual character.Either way, this movie is definitely worth a look just for the life lessons alone.

This movie did make me feel for the woman because of her illness and for the cancer it made me feel like she has hope... of dieing.Her illness is that she is 100% materialistic and shallow and has no idea of how to live a happy life and even the fact that she is dieing, which she finds out as the movie begins, cannot seem to give her any willpower to think on how to really find some real substance to what life she has left.Not only does she seem to live in a void of meaning but the entire movie and the way the effects are used seem to emphasize emotions to trivialities. One is left with the impression that the people behind the production believe that the substance of life is in buying new curtains.Even though events take different turns towards the end, she still doesn't learn anything new and the movie remains with the same shallow thought that it started out with: spend more, take risks and you'll be happier.To be fare, if buying stuff is the best thing in life you can imagine then this movie probably isn't all bad for you.
