Customer Reviews:
 Fair Entertainment but Great Movie, 2008-08-16
This is not a movie one watches for the enjoyment of it but rather to gain experience and insight. I would recommend it to people curious about what one faces when diagnosed with terminal illness, English enthusiasts, and people curious about experimental filmmaking. The acting was superb. Emma particularly never disappoints.
