I so wanted to see this, but it's conflict with Watercolors made the choice impossible. I hope to catch it later on DVD, but am very upset that two such compelling films were stacked against each other. :(
This is not a gay film, it's a human film that happens to have a gay character. This movie was an honest depiction of a tough family situation. I could really identify with Angie as I am on a similar journey with my dad. The film captured the agony, frustration, pain and challenge of having a parent become mentally lost and unable to care for himself or herself. I wish all of my siblings had been sitting with me in the theater.
Ballot comment:
Good subject. Poorly written script. Poor acting.
Ballot comment from A.L.:
Poor insight into the Alzheimer's process and very poor writing for borderline lesbians.
Ballot comment from C. R.:
Characters didn't seem real or sympathetic -- speaking as someone who worked almost 10 years in retirement communities. Only character who felt real was the girlfriend.
Ballot comment:
The mother was a very good actor. Good insight into Alzheimer's.
Ballot comment:
Tough movie! But very factual.
