What They Had (2018)
6/10
What They Had - Very Relatable
7 March 2019
Family melodrama staring Hilary Swank and Michael Shannon.

I wanted to see this film as I have been going through some difficult times and could immediately relate. Most people know someone or at the very least knows someone who knows someone who's dealing with Alzheimer's.

The wife is in decline, she's losing her mental capacity, and she wanders the streets in her nightgown, answers the phone by picking up a stapler and suchlike.

The husband is in denial of the condition.

The son suggests that assisted living in a 'memory centre' is now appropriate.

The daughter is not convinced this is the best option.

Everyone will have experienced someone with elements of this condition. A lot of families will relate.
