      Audience Member This movie is not bad,very sad but incredibly powerful and convincing.I just cried like a baby when Elizabeth or Katie discovers that she has a brain tumor that is incurable..And she is so strong even if frail..The doctor Anthony hopkins is fine and a perfect gentleman even if he is tormented and very in love with her.That's beautiful! I had friends and my uncle that died from a cancer and i can relate to the pain that endures Mickael or Anthony hopkins but he keeps fighting with Katie OUT OF LOVE ,he is madly in love and can we leave a person that we love if she is ill and sentenced to death? This tv movie is more than a movie.It is a matter of love and it gives an incredible lesson of life..LIVE LIVE FULLY with the people you love,don't waste your time and learn to comtemplate a sunset ,flowers and to smell them as often as possible.THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE..not the work or money but Love and beauty!! I adore this story and cried..very touching and very good performances!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as emotionally satisfying as the Bette Davis classic but on its own a well made tearjerker with a superior cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
