Here Awhile

Such a hard topic to address, but they did it in such a tasteful way. I loved how time seemed to pass at an unsteady rate, which for me, symbolized taking advantage, and appreciating the moments we have with the people we love, with whatever time we have. Also, who is Shonda? Such a beautiful and natural actress??? <3

The term Asperger's isn't an excepted term by many in the autistic community but bar that this is perfection. Humour and desperation. So harrowing but so much light. It doesn't take a side on the debate over euthanasia but encourages kindness and empathy for those who do want to be euthanised and fights against the narrative that people fight cancer- it isn't a lack of strength. It was cathartic and healing for me as my gran is dying of cancer. Its not an easy watch but its far easier than most movies about cancer and especially containing euthanasia.

Well you have your obligatory woke: every single relationship is same sex or interracial because we know that's how the real world is (sarcasm). As far as the movie itself, it is really low budget, with not much going on. The acting isn't great. I mean if absolutely nothing else is on, it won't kill you to watch it.

But she , the dying caracter, is far too fresh and healthy to make a big lashing breakout of tears from my standpoint. also its a bit superfiscial at moments, even though i suppose its meant to cheer up the audience, it doesnt work that way in real life. reminiscence is a great part of the plot, and in those cases with death with dignity, the dying has to be sound and healthy mentally so it might bring forward a massive amount of clear memories that can make a good basis of making the bold desiscion to die. but still its a good film, with love ad charm from many angles, the plot becomes a bit hurried because its such a vast thing, but its done quite well. it has a wellknitted score amlyfying the emotional waves throughout the whole seanse. technically there are no flaws to mention. its an important subject to display the limelight on, death with dignity must be a great solution if there are no chance to change destiny, and the hope for miracles are pretty loonitisious then the grumpy old man wouldve done the same, why not beat death with death, wouldnt that be a little bit of heaven??? recommended

Its when you don't have to think, argue or analyse them. Its when you don't think in actors, acting, reflection etc. Its like a book you can indulge in. A good story, book or film, should invite you to become part of it. It shouldn't make you think about actors you recognize from other films. A film fails if an actor or actress makes you think about another film. And although it's a personal thing and therefore for everyone different, its how you feel the story and are able to become part of it. As a listener, viewer and yeah, for some even identifying yourself with characters. So don't get upset by reviewers, professional or not, but just enjoy this film as a book. The kind of which you actually don't want to read the last page. Only because the story will be over and done with. That should explain my 10/10.. 🙂

This is an Emotional film about dying on your own terms. Anna (Anna Camp) is dying from cancer. The film starts with having already decided how she wants to die. She is simply coming home to make amends with her brother before she dies. What in sue is a powerful film about the importance of being with the people you love. It also raises interesting questions about what it means to die with dignity. I cried for almost the entire film, even though there are tones of beautiful little family moments. I know a lot of people won't agree with Anna's decisions, but I think the film highlights the importance of thinking about this issue and seeing both sides. Anna Camp's performance was simply amazing. It's possibly her best performance ever. This movie is hard to come by since there was no DVD, and streaming is limited. But I would defiantly seek this film out. If for nothing else to see Anna's amazing performance.

I do feel bad for being so harsh to an indie film, but it really has an emptiness to it. Not because of the depressing nature of the film but of the makeup of the film, because it ends and I wonder why this movie exists. I question if the creatives had real motivation behind it. For me, the only reason I watched it was because I knew someone that was in it. Joe Lo Truglio was definitely the best part. The whole cancer thing just feels conjured up by writers, which it was, but if you do it right you feel more than just pity for the main character.
