Na?ve and superficial

Watching this film made me feel very disappointed. I expected a bit more than it offered. Maybe being a bit more true to life?

I have lost two close people to cancer. My sister was only 30 when she died and my dad passed away 3 weeks ago. In both cases it was nothing like this film depicts. Isabel Coixet is glamorising death and cancer in her film more than they deserve.

The film didn?t make me cry. It made me angry because of it?s na?ve view of the world. No doctor would ever give you such accurate results after one ultrasound and there is really no way of telling precisely how much time there is left before death. It tried to be deep and arty? However the end was a typical happy end which was too far from real life again. If you like good quality films, this one will be a let down.
