Undescribable Perfection

Such a frustrating disappointment

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a movie based upon a very controversial topic. Without giving too much away in the way of spoilers because their synopsis on this web page doesn't really give too much away either, all I want to say is kudos to the entire crew that worked on the production of this film. I'm certain many people consider their options in similar manners, but are too 'weak' to go through something like this. You have to watch this movie to form your own opinion though. Everyone will have their own take or spin on how they would have handled this. I think it's personal to the ones undergoing the 'diseases' and we should begin to heed their choices instead of our own personal choices. If we all had the freedom to make the choices we wanted to make on our own, without others, we'd be a much healthier world. But we tend to be too overbearing and controlling of others. People need their freedoms to move forward....or not! Let them be! Mother Mary will come to us speaking words of wisdom, let them be! Enjoy this film that is very well worth anyone's time to watch.

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.

SMART WOMEN. Smart women who are not defined by a male character. All of them- so well written and fleshed out. Lovely acting all around. Was enamored with Troyan Bellisario- whom I had never seen. Deftly directed with nuance and care. At times funny and others, gut-wrenching. But never fell into the stereotypical UBER-FEELY trap that many female driven fare can. Really just a total GEM of a film. Was at a screening where the audience was both laughing and crying, a successful story in my book. Was also wonderful to see Jackie Weaver in a lovely turn as their flawed but original matriarch.BRAVO LIFETIME for backing SMART, FEMALE DRIVEN FARE!!

Despite it's silly title, this is a powerful movie full of raw, intense characters. This is an emotional story of four estranged sisters coming together after their mother's death. These woman are incredibly different from each other, making them very memorable. Austin, the one who lived with her mother and was her caretaker when she got sick, Carolina, a hard-edged attorney, Dallas, a tightly-wound woman reeling from the effects of her upcoming divorce, and Baltimore, a young, free- spirited bohemian type. The sisters are absent for most of their mother's adult life, with the exception of Austin, yet feel compelled to judge and place blame as if they had been there all along. However, these siblings do love each other, and must try to overcome their obstacles while uncovering the mystery that shrouds their mother's death. I was not expecting much from this movie, given it's rather vanilla title - I was wrong.
