My Life Without Me
Whether you agree with the decisions Ann takes doesn't much matter. Unlike most movies, this one will make you ponder. About life, mostly, but probably about yourself more than anything. That's an excellent quality in a movie, especially when it avoids the most abused cliches as it slowly and subtly follows the characters.
Sarah Polley is absolutely brilliant in the lead, and the support is also well cast. Isabel Coixet have done a good job adapting the novel for screen, and then directing it herself. I'll be very interested in checking out more from both Polley and Coixet based on the quality of their work with this.
