Critic Reviews

Anyone who could read Munro's original story and think they could make a film of it, and then make a great film, deserves a certain awe.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

To say it is about a debilitating disease is as reductive as saying "Little Miss Sunshine" is about a beauty pageant. Both are intimate stories of family ties that bind but sometimes also choke.Full Review

Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle

Rarely has love at any age been depicted so honestly on screen. For such a fully realized portrait to be created by a 28-year-old first-time director is even more remarkable.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

I can't remember the last time the movies yielded up a love story so painful, so tender and so true.Full Review

A.O. Scott
The New York Times

Poignant, wise and unafraid -- just the sort of film for a young person, or any person, for that matter, to make.Full Review
