Ma fille, mon espoir

I have worked in health care for many years. I had the awesome opportunity to care for my dying mother in my home. I have taken care of several cancer patients. This movie is excellent! It touched my soul and helped me get through the emotions connected with my relationship with my mother in those last precious months. This movie shows some of the dynamics and emotions a family can go through. As a daughter who stood by her mothers bedside, I related to this movie. As a mother of 6 (4 girls and 2 boys) I can't imagine any of my children having cancer. I recently found a copy of this movie on ebay, I have been searching for it ever since I saw it on TV as I wanted to share it with my sister. I highly recommend this movie. And will enjoy watching it again and again.

Now I may not have all that much knowledge on cancer patients as some people do, I have personally only known one person who has had cancer, but i do believe that this was a good movie. I am only 19 so I have grown up knowing heaps of kids my age abusing or being rude to their parents, and I believe that this movie strikes true in the relationship at home when something tragic happens.

While true that it does not show how much physical pain and suffering a cancer patient may go through, i do believe that it shows the emotional suffering a cancer patients family can go through and i have no hesitation in recommending this movie to anybody who enjoys the Danielle Steel Series or any TV movies that may have come out in this time period.

I can totally relate with Emma. I know exactly how it feels when your mother wants to take over your life. She's lucky that even though her mother can be a bit demanding at times she still knows her mother loves her. My mom and I haven't been in good terms since i was 13 (I'm 18 now). At a young age I've learned to hate her and instead of understanding me she built a wall between the two of us. Emma's lucky because even as she pushes her mother away her mom continues to reach out.

I cried throughout the film because i realized that I would never do what Emma did for her Mom and it scared me. My coldheartedness scared me. I can't even say I love my mom anymore.

I give this movie a thumbs up. The actors were really good. The movie was touching & I hope that a lot more people were touched and given hope. They should realize that life is short and that they should value every time spent with their family. I've lost all hope and I hope you guys don't.

Switching around channels to find a movie to help me sleep I had a choice between this one and "Ghost Cat"; assuming 'Two Against Time' might be a time travel adventure I opted for it: wrong choice.

As meritable as it might be to portray a story about a mother and daughter both diagnosed with cancer, which is the storyline here, I found the movie unconvincing and bland.

Quite apart from the irritating portrayal of a spoilt brat kid and her domineering mother which is later redeemed by their illnesses,this movie does a gross dis-service to people really suffering from cancer, since its'true pain and the pain of its treatment is almost non-existent in the film.

The do-gooder film-makers and actors seem to think that by showing bald headed women we are someone going to be shocked, but all this does is make a mockery of people who are really suffering.

"Ghost Cat"-which I have now seen, is far more honest!

2 out of 10.

I found this movie purely by accident scrolling around Tubi. It caught my attention because I have lived this. Both my mother and I have cancer. Well, I had it and have beaten it from every doctor's perspective. My mom however has a very rare genetic blood cancer which she lives with and takes medicine for. A lot of people actually live with cancer and go about their lives. Idk if people know that. You hear cancer, and you think omg I'm going to die, but that is not the case now with medical improvements in treatments.

This movie shows that.

It starts out with just a mother and a teenage daughter having issues, what else is new? But one day the daughter wakes up with a terrible pain in her arm and it's blue and looks weird. They go the doctor and get a biopsy and it comes back a rare cancer. So the daughter has to postpone college and start aggressive chemo treatments. Her mother takes her to her appointments and one day mom goes for her yearly mammogram and it comes back cancer.

The mother is a super mom. For real. She still works and takes her daughter to appointments while getting chemo. Reminded me of my mom. Just amazing, the love of a mother.

I shouldn't tell any more because I don't want to spoil it, but this movie made me appreciate my mother even more than I do. Never take your parents or children for granted and do try and spend quality time with them.

Marlo Thomas is fantastic in this. I never really saw her in anything so I never knew she was such a good actress.

The daughter played by Ellen Muth I knew from Hannibal and she is great!! I really wish I could see actresses like her in more things. She looks like a normal person and not all plastic, plus she is a trained actress and you can tell. Both of them did so good in this. I highly recommend it.
