I had an idea of what this movie was about from previews I had seen years ago. It was much more intense than I had expected. There was the element of a child suing her parents for rights to her own body that dominated much of the movie --- well, it was kind of the entire premise really. My brain wouldn't just relax & simply watch the movie; there were so many questions & thoughts swirling around as each new piece of the story was revealed. I very much sympathized with each of the parents, both on separate sides of the issue. I am blessed to be able to say that I have not had to travel down that particular road of parenthood & hopefully never will. One of the main things I took away from this movie was the idea that we can't ignore the thoughts & feelings of EACH of the participants in the story. We cannot exclude the ideas of any one person when they are very much being affected by what is going on. I highly recommend this movie to parents & older siblings. Age recommendation: 14 & over (mild sexual scene (no nudity), some profanity, intense medical scenes due to cancer) On a scale of 1-10 stars, I give it 9.
