Audrey's Children

I just listened to an interview that the writer of the film, Julia Fisher Farbman, gave and during the interview, she shared "if nothing else, I hope this story gives people hope". When I left the movie, I felt hopeful that in a scary world and in a world where pediatric cancer still exists and there is no cure YET, we can hold onto hope. We can can maintain the power of the word YET because we leave the film having hope. This movie shows to me how one person CAN make a difference in the world. I thought the entire cast and crew did a wonderful job. We need more movies like where the storytelling makes others want to do more to impact the world.

Absolute incredible production. This story is so heartwarming!! Finally a movie hits theaters that makes you feel, inspires you, makes you want to do good for the world and never give up. The cast absolutely crushed, Natalie was fantastic. Audrey is a hero and the perfect sort of leader. She is funny, kind, smart, brave, strategic and caring. A female that I will always look up to and admire to be like. This film is a must see. This should make waves through the medical industry and re-inspire and reinvigorate doctors around the world. I hope this movie makes an International push as everyone in the world should be privy to this inspiring story. Well done to everyone that touched this project.

The storyline is powerful. This biopic picks a monumental part of Audrey Evan's life and shows how one person CAN make a difference in the trajectory of pediatric cancer for decades to come. The writer did an incredible job sharing Audrey's story. It left me inspired and wanting to do more, give more and stand up for what I am passionate about. The entire cast and crew did an incredible job. Natalie Dormer's portrayal of Audrey is outstanding. I left the movie wanting to do a deep dive into this time period and Audrey. I was equally impressed how they could turn such a sad topic, pediatric cancer, into something so inspirational and promising. It is also great to see how they closed down the city of Philadelphia, time traveled back to the 1960s with the direction, color, set & costume design, and made the viewers visualize that time period. Definitely recommend this!

I felt that the film was very well balanced. It showed the complexity's of being a woman in a male dominated environment. Her compassion for the children and their parents was self evident. I also liked how easily she could subvert or coerce people to her side. The opening scene of the movie tell you everything you really need to know about her personality. Her tenacity is a blessing and a curse. At times, she doesn't know when to take her foot off the gas pedal and apply the brakes. My only complaint is that I would love to have seen a little bit more of her personal life during this Period. As a Philadelphian I'm a Lil was ashamed that I didn't know anythingabout her.

Film brilliantly depicted the practice, determination, and creative genius of Dr Audrey - using deliberate moments to make the point that truly one person can create a ripple effect for the world.

Using pediatric neuroblastoma as the basis of her oncology practice and research, this film tells the story of the Dr Audrey's perseverance to research, and treat kids in the 1970s. Singularly, she took a stand to not accept NO as an answer. She creatively found ways to make the impossible (for the times) possible. In so doing, we learn about treating pediatric cancer but more importantly we see the impact that one person can make and the positive ripple effects in medical science and treatments resulting from her actions.

Extremely well done, time period appropriate and just enough to send me to learn more.
