Christine

Very personal and, for me, overly distressing and sentimental. It felt almost voyeuristic to be watching this. Having suffered from breast cancer myself I could identify with much of the trauma, but was sufficiently distant to not be too distressed by it. I feel it would probably be utterly depressing for many viewers, made worse by the juxtaposition of the teenage love and family situation. This is not an easy watch and I didn't feel I gained sufficient special insight to make it worthwhile. I found it was actually a very syrupy rather mawkish depiction of an extremely traumatic experience. I feel desperately sad for the tragedy that befell this family but felt it would have been better shared with family and friends rather than portrayed for the whole world in this film.
