COMMUNITY REVIEWS

For a class submitted by srclark734 on June 23, 2016, 5:59pm I watched this for a class and was warned that it would be a tearful movie?!? I am pregnant and did not cry. The main character honestly annoyed me, and I felt little sympathy for her. I could not wait for the movie to be over.

Good portrayal of cancer treatment submitted by Xris on May 19, 2020, 11:30pm I'm not so great with poetry and meaning, so that part was a little tedious. But when the nurse was in the room with her and she broke down, tears came. Also when her mentor visited her. Wouldn't want to watch it again because of the sad plot.
