Ginger

Very inspirational! Sweet, funny and loving friendships. A must see

I loved this film! It struck such a great balance of humor and seriousness. I laughed, I cried, I watched it again!

Many of us take life for granted, most people live their entire life and have never lived. This film is a reminder that learning to live is the greatest mystery of life. Also, this film made me cry and laugh which is not easy.

Seldom is this topic told with such authenticity, understanding and sincerity. No fanfare of triumphant human will or bulls**t emotional manipulation. A delightful character caught in a dynamic and emotionally challenging situation and forced to make some decisions she is ill-prepared to make. The true treasure of this film amongst many is the performance of Susan Gordon. An actress I was not familiar with prior to this viewing. Her performance is sublime and obviously motivated by a desire for authenticity and a desire to show respect for the subject matter and the people who have travelled this path. A tough subject well told.

Ginger captures the feelings that come with an unexpected diagnosis: fear, anger, denial, and if you're lucky, the humor and love from those around you. I found myself alternatively laughing and crying. I'd recommend for anyone but it's especially powerful for those who've had breast cancer. It's a connection to know others out there understand and also a reminder to laugh and maintain hope.
