The Elephant is real, but . . .

There's a lot of realism, sad and painful, but the parody is definitely overdone. Plus, I keep seeing Michael, N.P. as Ed Helms in "The Hangover" movies. So it's hard to consider this a serious movie. The acting is entirely novice. I watched til the end so I gave it a 4 star rating.

My heart!

So hard to watch but so true about the loss and pain and beauty of cancer. It's such a touching tribute to the pain and triumph of patients. Such an important film!

Really?

I stopped watching when THIS happened. A five-year-old boy dies of an aggressive cancer and they're all grieving at the nurses station. Not 10 seconds later they all start giggling because the NP is dressed in pajamas, as they all were, to celebrate the child's life. He then does a strip tease. WTH. Wrong on EVERY level. If this is how the medical profession handles grief they ALL need to see their own psychologists!!

Not a comedy, not a drama. Just a dud.

So many things were bad, with the acting, direction, and editing leading the list. The original music was good, however, even though it was misused. The staff meetings were simply stupid. This was a terribly misguided attempt to deal with a difficult subject.

Depressing

Not helpful. This could have been handled so much better. Depressing rather than providing a more insightful look at handling death and dying in the medical profession.
