Alex Crazy chick does crazy things. Goes to hospital. Doctor fixes her.There, I just saved you an hour and a half. Go watch something interesting instead.
imaank-71535 This is a very interesting movie and for all the people criticising and hating this film, well they are just too dumb to understand it. Especially when they find out what is wrong with Susannah and then they treat her, it is just an amazing feeling. Also you know this is based on a true story which makes you feel more sympathetic towards Susannah. I would definitely recommend this movie and also the book.
a_sad_cow I know the illness is real and the actors put good effort into portraying that, but for those of us without the illness, it doesn't really help us relate, or help us cope with that illness. There are cinematic cues that something more is coming, yet nothing really happens in the grand cinematic scene. If you're a student studying the illness, this is probably better than whatever you get in class. If you're an average citizen, this movie is a bit of a let-down. Would've been much happier to find this in the documentary/drama section.
hardykccat As a person who had an auto immune disease I found this movie very interesting to watch. It was recommended by a Facebook group for autoimmune diseases. The movie moved along at a good pace and the acting was wonderful.
