02/11/2014 A harrowing, intense and gripping look at a controversial subject matter. Nothing exceptional, but notable for the emotional realism and the strong performance from Julie Walters. See more 05/27/2013 Its gratifying to see that some parts of the world permit the portrayal of an intelligent person's choice to forego the agony of a prolonged death in the clutches of a cruel disease. A brilliant performance by Julie Walters as the real-life central character Anne Turner. (Just to piss off the born-agains a little more, there's a gay marriage near the end.) See more 08/31/2012 Absolutely stunning DVD based on a true story about the decision of Dr. Anne Turner, suffering from a neurological disorder to end her life. Filled w love and compassion. Was particularly moved by the journey w her children, particularly her gay son. Available at the library. See more Read all reviews
