Great Cast & Great Directorial/Writing Debut For Chomko
Terrific all-star cast here and a remarkable directorial and writing debut for Elizabeth Chomko. Difficult to watch at times, as the movie depicts the devastating effects of dementia, not only for the person affected but for their families as well.
The dialogue here is incredibly realistic, the characters completely believable, and the interplay between them works exceptionally well. Somehow, Chomko manages to get in some well placed humor along the way.
Overall, just a powerful and poignant drama and I might suggest keeping some tissues close by for the final 20 minutes of the film.
