huggibear This is a movie based upon a very controversial topic. Without giving too much away in the way of spoilers because their synopsis on this web page doesn't really give too much away either, all I want to say is kudos to the entire crew that worked on the production of this film. I'm certain many people consider their options in similar manners, but are too 'weak' to go through something like this. You have to watch this movie to form your own opinion though. Everyone will have their own take or spin on how they would have handled this. I think it's personal to the ones undergoing the 'diseases' and we should begin to heed their choices instead of our own personal choices. If we all had the freedom to make the choices we wanted to make on our own, without others, we'd be a much healthier world. But we tend to be too overbearing and controlling of others. People need their freedoms to move forward....or not! Let them be! Mother Mary will come to us speaking words of wisdom, let them be! Enjoy this film that is very well worth anyone's time to watch.

edwagreen Fine acting but of course a very morbid, depressing film where the writer-daughter more than assists in her mother's suicide, the latter a victim suffering from ALS.While the topic of being allowed to end it when you're terminally ill has become quite controversial today.Each one of the daughters is a unique group of individuals with varying lives and the one who is an attorney vying for a judgeship is all too ready to condemn what her sister has done.Alfred Molina briefly appears as the father of Austin, the daughter who complied with the wishes of the mother. Jackie Weaver, as the dying mother, is excellent as the woman trapped in a body that is rapidly failing.

tietroupe I'm always interested in seeing independent movies, and often find them much more absorbing than the much hyped blockbusters. Sister Cities proves to be one of the best independent films I have recently seen and one that I have enjoyed the most. This story of a family of dysfunctional sisters coming together after the death of their mother and in the process beginning to understand themselves and each other is beautifully crafted and extremely touching. And, although it is a film written by a woman primarily about women, it is universal in the exploration of grief and how our reactions to death are shaped by our choices in life.

asylumforimaginaryfriends A lot of people were raving about this film so I was excited to watch it but also expected to be a little bit disappointed; as it turns out, the positive reviews were well deserved. This was a beautiful film with enough twists to keep you glued to the screen, and phenomenal acting by all involved. Each of the characters was quirky enough to be unique and memorable whilst still being easy to relate to. Having not seen the play, I approached the film with no knowledge of the plot line outside of the trailer. It's a tear-jerker, although there are laugh out loud moments, and I'm now eager to see this as a stage play as well. Fingers crossed Lifetime will release the film on DVD as I'd really love to watch it again and share with my own sisters, who I think would relate to different characters and appreciate the film in different ways. Beautiful. I have a lot of feelings right now!
