Trivia
Originally the film was to feature Ann recording tapes for her father and for Dr. Thompson, in which she forgives her father for being absent during her childhood, and tells Dr. Thompson that his seeing patients as people isn't a bad thing before thanking him for keeping her impending death a secret. The ending montage was also supposed to feature a video clip of Ann's dad making shoes for his granddaughters from prison with tears in his eyes. These things never even made it to the filming stage, probably because of the length of the production itself.

Goofs
When Ann the neighbor is talking about the conjoined twins, she says one was a girl and the other was a boy. Conjoined twins are formed from the same egg, so is generally understood that both twins should be of the same gender. However if the egg is fertilized by a male sperm but during cell division only the X chromosome is duplicated it could result in monozygotic twins of different sexes . This results in one normal male (XY) and one female with Turner syndrome.

Quotes
Ann: Nobody thinks about death in the supermarket.

Had high hopes but came out above average

Movies based on this topic have immense space to showcase many aspects of an individual's life directly or indirectly affected. Like a one Korean movie Wedding Dress too had a same concept which really made me and wife emotional in number of moments. However, starting with a high hope, this one dint touched my feelings to say that yes i started caring about the cancer patient, virtually. It revolved around doing things and completing ones long lasting wishes, which was a great approach, but as story grew, i felt away from it rather getting close.

So yaa, to me just an above average stuff and only one time watch.
