This movie to me brings together a myriad of emotions. The Director handled bringing perspective to it's viewers by building the relationship of mother and daughter together.

I found this film to be extremely exposing to weaknesses in every family, or person. We tend to overlook the obvious in compassion - the impact of things in others lives.

I weep every time I see this as it exposes those weaknesses that Anne Bancroft learns about too late.

This movie is about isolation, independence, loss of self respect, compassion, and the argument of accepting someone else's choice for life or death.

Sissy is amazing. She draws you in to her world of not being able to see a future a day after, a week or longer because she makes very valid points about continuing.

Bancroft plays the over the top worried mother who never survived on her own and must face the next day herself.

Well done, great directing, acting and perspective taken from a real life situation a couple years prior.
