Best movie of this year hands down!

Amateur movie with Big budget

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I don't care what anyone else says about the film. I'll just say Hilary Swank was incredible and totally believable in her role. I'm a 70 year old man. This was one of the best written and acted films I've ever seen. It also helped open my eyes a bit wider as to what an ALS victim, their family and their loved ones have to go though. I can't imagine why Hilary and this film did not receive more awards.

i didn't have a lot of expectations for this movie, i went in like "OK, i'm gonna watch this" and i thought that after it's gonna be done, i would be like...meh, it was OK.But damn, this movie made me cry (the ending...when she jumps off the bed and goes to her, i started crying like a baby, i didn't cry in 2-3 years lol and this movie made me cry). It was a beautiful and sad movie, the actors played VERY WELL! this is my first review on the site and i'm here since 3-4 years ago, but only this movie made me write one.Watch it alone so you can cry, because YOU WILL CRY. I don't give 10 to movies, almost never, but this one deserves a 10 for sure.

I didn't know anything going in about this movie. I had watched a scary movie that wasn't very good, and chose this to see something different.I was really taken aback at how incredible this movie was. Hillary as a very ill woman was amazing. The gradual decline in her character's health was subtle and SO believable. Heart breaking. Emmy had a wonderful chemistry with Hillary in their roles and it pulled you in. Josh Duhamel was believable in the role of Hillary's husband and him having a difficult time being there throughout the illness was understandable, but written/played without the audience being set up to hate him. Yes, it is a tear jerker, and yes it has women leads, but this made it even more wonderful, to the haters out there. Please take the time to watch this wonderful film.

Stereotypical Hollywood dramatization of a serious medical issue. Usual hooks of attractive, successful, creative woman (a plain working person wouldn't do) and her sudden encounter with the effects of ALS on her and relationships with family. The usual script hooks of cheating husband; too proper relatives; and the best hook of all, a soon to be hired caretaker about as artificially made up (scripted) to be the opposite in character as a writer can think up. Caretaker is made to be her foil and it is tediously obvious, right from the very beginning - soon to be best friend & confident. Casting, a cop-out to attract audience as none of the acting was at all believable. Well, maybe to the rom-com, romance paperback viewers the acting and script formula was Teflon perfect.
