My review · Reviewed 12/25/2024
One of the difficult aspects of dealing with a character with an illness in a movie is that you don't want the movie to turn into a Lifetime movie. This film does a pretty decent job avoiding that trap, and I would even say that I was impressed at how it treated that character as an equal in the movie. Everyone has issues, and those issues can get in the way of relationships. I wish that the movie had been a bit more compelling, although I thought that the ending was excellent.
