A captivating and intimate study about dying and loving...

Munch's screenplay is tenderly observant of his characters. He watches them as they float within the seas of their personalities. His scenes are short and often unexpected.

Top CriticPlaying a role of almost Bergmanesque intensity ... Bisset is both convincing and radiant.

Top CriticIt has a subtle way of getting under your skin and sticking with you long after it's over.

A thoughtful, moving piece that faces difficult issues with honesty and beauty.
09/27/02
Top CriticDoesn't reach for the obvious buttons that a weepy mainstream cancer film, like 'Stepmom' or 'Life As a House,' would push.
07/24/02
Although sensitive to a fault, it’s often overwritten, with a surfeit of weighty revelations, flowery dialogue, and nostalgia for the past and roads not taken.
06/29/02
When the film ended, I felt tired and drained and wanted to lie on my own deathbed for a while.

Its rhythms and currents sink into a viewer's consciousness and linger in the mind.

Top CriticBisset still commands the screen as the graceful and outspoken Frances.
05/29/02
Excellent performances from Jacqueline Bisset and Martha Plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama.
05/29/02
It's delicate, haunting and sultry.

Top CriticBisset delivers a game performance, but she is unable to save the movie.
05/29/02
Top CriticFrom the dull, surreal ache of mortal awareness emerges a radiant character portrait.
05/28/02
Top CriticTo the film's credit, the acting is fresh and unselfconscious, and Munch is a marvel of reality versus sappy sentiment.
05/24/02
Laconic and very stilted in its dialogue, this indie flick never found its audience, probably because it's extremely hard to relate to any of the characters.
