Dormer definitely hasn’t lost her edge on either screen, as the film is as empowering as it is a delight to watch her inhabit this woman’s life with its simple pleasures and grand aspirations.

It’s enlightening to learn about unsung heroine Dr. Audrey Evans, the visionary behind Ronald McDonald House. The film packs a punch since it’s being released at a time when funding for pediatric cancer has been completely cut from the U.S. budget.

I thought her story was more interesting than the film. Perhaps she deserved a better one. It wasn't horrible, just very standard, by-the-book.

This movie was amazing! Such an important message and it's a shame it's not playing for a wider audience in theaters.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Between Minecraft, Superman previews, and the approach of King of Kings, for Easter content, is a ground-level story. Set in Philadelphia, Audrey Evans works within the male-dominated climate of Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to find methods to give children a greater chance to survive their cancer diagnoses. This movie is fun, it is extremely informative, looks great, and deals with the reality of gender discrimination and how time matters both against the human condition and in the face of hope. The issue I had with this film was because of its place, with bumpers for films like Minecraft and Superman, and its opposite, grounded nature. This film was so realistic that if children attended, there would be some harsh material related to medical diagnoses and children. Solid film.
