What people are saying
‘A very good movie! I found the acting to be exquisite by all, great cast, very believable. The staircase scene in the end brought a smile to my face but also put tears in my eyes. Deep feeling movie. I highly recommend it.‘
GR
‘Beautiful understated portrayal of loss. The film beautifully and subtly portrays in understated fashion the grind of getting through "normal" life day to day while supporting a family member through cancer... It will deeply resonate with anyone who's been there.‘
Sarah J. Haynes
‘Great indie and directorial debut! A personal portrayal of having a sick parent and its effects on the whole family. A very personal story that feels universal to all.‘
AC
‘Worth watching! This movie portrayed the journey of a family as they dealt with their mother’s/wife’s cancer diagnosis. The music was beautiful and the ending was very touching. The acting was excellent.‘
