Jerod S @jeroduptown 10/23/2023 Maybe it's hard to make finding a genetic marker for breast cancer isn't that exciting for a film. But if Helen Hunt, Aaron Paul and Rashida Jones would have been given a little more to work with, it would've been moving.

See more r96 s 05/07/2020 'Decoding Annie Parker' does make for difficult viewing given the obvious nature of events, but the film tells the story of Annie Parker in a rather elegant manner. Samantha Morton is outstanding as Annie, she portrays the character to perfection and takes you on a journey - great performance. Aaron Paul is very good too, as he plays the role of Paul. The rest of the cast are solid. This production is pretty straightforward, not that that's a negative as it prioritises storytelling and allows the actors to act. It was also the right call to make the run time 91 minutes, any longer then it would've dragged. My only criticism would be that the two onscreen narratives never join up, I was waiting for the vast majority for them to collide but they never do; barring one conversation. I guess it's sticking to realism, though. Overall, a fine film.

The film was inspired by the real life stories of the two women from the same timeline who had no connections, except theirs involvement with something. That means there are two sets of stories that's told one after another in parts which covered the events from nearly the three decades. So it all begins in the 1960, where two little sisters promise to each other about something, but 10 years later one of their's life changed forever when another one dies of cancer. So this is the story where the other sister begins her fight against the disease that took her family away. This is a small budget film that shot entirely within a month of time. There are lots of actresses in this, even for the small roles. I thought Helen Hunt would lead the narration, but then there were Maggie Grace, Alice Eve, Aaron Paul and others. Great dedications by all, but this was Samantha Morton's film. I did not know what this story is about when I decided to watch, but I'm pretty happy for the film. Except the material was more a documentary suitable kind, especially the story of Helen Hunt's character. Moreover feels like it is a short film with a decent story. I think it is worth a watch because of unfolding an important scientific discovery of our time. So a big yes on that perspective, but entertainment wise it is just an average. Now you can decide this on what you're seeking. 7/10 See more Read all reviews
