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

When I went to watch this film, I truly didn't know what to expect. This movie completely took me by surprise and beyond just making me cry, it made me feel deeply for Anna and all the people stuck in her position and the families involved. I was thinking about this film for a long time afterward. Stunning performance by Anna Camp, who I only really associated with bright comedy before watching this. Joe Lo Truglio's character Gary will make you feel in ways you don't expect and Steven Strait's vulnerability as Anna's brother Michael is noteworthy. This film really sheds light on how death with dignity is an important decision for some people, and it really should be an available option in more places.

This film presents multiple issues of Oregon's Death With Dignity Act in a sensitive, generous manner. No brow beating heavy handed endorsement of the Act in the screen play or the acting. It will make you think as well as being a fun way to spend the evening. Recommended highly.

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.

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.
