Hello Beautiful

Beautiful movie of the real and raw moments and emotions behind one fighting their breast cancer diagnosis in the midst of their family. The music was powerful and magnificent!! Thank you Chris for sharing your story! Must see and I wish my husband and daughter were with me to see this incredible film. The relationships are very relatable, and you can feel the intense emotion in their conversations, reactions and struggles. I also loved the reality of the overwhelming feelings of wanting to be connected with your family, even more as a power source to get through the sickness and pain that one endures.

I'm not a professional film critic-but I do pay close attention to the conversations a movie stirs long after the credits roll. Hello Beautiful is one of those rare films that doesn't just tell a story-it invites reflection, encourages dialogue, and leaves you sitting in its emotional impact.

Based on Christine Handy's bestselling novel Walk Beside Me, Hello Beautiful is a deeply moving portrayal of Willow, a successful model whose glamorous life is upended by a breast cancer diagnosis. What follows is not just a story of illness, but a powerful testament to resilience, identity, and transformation.

This film does what so few are brave enough to do-it looks at cancer and survivorship with honesty. There's no sugar-coating here, and yet, it is not bleak. It's layered with grace, vulnerability, and unexpected beauty. It also gives voice to the often unseen emotional toll of diagnosis and healing, not just on the individual but on family and friendships. You feel the raw moments of fear, the quiet victories, and the evolution of love in all its forms.

What struck me most were the layers within the story-how it explored self-worth, purpose, and connection in a way that felt real and relatable. Whether you've walked through cancer yourself or supported someone who has, there's something universally human in Willow's journey that will resonate.

Hello Beautiful is more than a film. It's a conversation starter about healing, courage, and the strength that comes when we allow ourselves to be seen, supported, and loved.

This film tells the emotional journey of a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer. She has made her living as a model and defines herself through the lens of a society that values external beauty. The screenplay artistically depicts the woman's struggles and triumphs as she comes to recognize her inner beauty. It realistically portrays the impact that a diagnosis has on an entire family as well as the importance of supportive friends. As a breast cancer survivor/thriver of twenty-four years, I truly appreciate this raw but truth-filled story of hope! Thank you, Christine Handy, for being a hope facilitator!

Hello Beautiful is a tremendously powerful film that pulls back the curtain on the personal journey Breast Cancer Survivors and those in their inner circle travel.

After viewing this film with dozens of Breast Cancer Survivors, I looked to them for an opinion as to the authenticity of the messaging. Powerful, Real, Exactly, That's Me, Raw are some of their responses.

Hello Beautiful will make you uncomfortable, instill some pain, and create plenty of empathy. Most importantly, though, this movie will bring you hope, especially if you or someone you know has ever received this diagnosis.

Everyone should see Hello Beautiful simply because one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point. Being armed with insight from this film will be a critical difference maker!

Based on Christine Handy's bestselling novel Walk Beside Me, this movie is about the real challenges women face in dealing with breast cancer, treatments and family. I attended the show in Cincinnati OH and I now have a better understanding of the journey of a friend of mine. The photography and music is phenomenal. I would recommend the movie to anyone who wants to become involved in helping others along this journey. I had no idea as to the impact the entire family may experience in dealing with the issues of the patient even though I myself am a survivor. I did not have to have a mastectomy or chemo and I do have survivors guilt at times because of this. I believe this movie is an excellent for everyone to appreciate the Beauty of Life. Thank you to Christine for sharing your story in a straight forward manner.
