This film start with the introduction of an old couple(Paul, and Lily), and a bunch of people come to their house scene! As turnout, this film is about Paul need to euthanize Lily, after Lily finish spending the last day together with her family and friend! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the preparing food scene, overuse of the song playing at the background scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the smoking scene, overuse of the eating scene, and overuse of the aerial sky scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely laughable scene is, Jennifer copulate with her husband, after pouring the wine at his face! At the end, Paul taking a walk after Lily die! That's it! Wasting time to watch!
Having lived through a similar experience myself, this film does a wonderful job of representing the various facets of a family as the beloved mother comes to the end of her terminal illness. Intensely painfully real. A must see.
Overprivileged White family with bickering siblings and a dying mom: there is little that is new with this. A remake of SENSE & SENSIBILITY can't be far behind. Susan Sarandon brings nothing new, which is expected and still disappointing. Even surrounded by a shockingly top-drawer cast, Sarandon manages to keep this from punching its way out of its genre. As expected, Sam Neill, Kate Winslet and Lindsay Duncan deliver top-flight performances without leaving newer actors in the dust. They are generous co-stars. Glad I saw this once, but I doubt I'll revisit it as I've done with other "fatality of the week" films. The upside: this film addresses the right of a terminally ill person to chart their course with dignity.
