Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter Shining a light on hospice and palliative care, approaches that are still considered alternative, Defining Hope builds a persuasive case for the ways they empower patients and their loved ones. Nov 1, 2017 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The kind of feature doc that leaves audiences talking and deeply appreciative of its compassionate, life-affirming, and spirited messages.

Audience Member It's heartbreaking but well worth watching. I think it makes a very good point. Quality of life is important.. Everyone should be able to die with dignity and peace. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful movie. I wanted more!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't praise this film enough! Defining Hope tells a beautiful story throughout the film and challenges viewers to think about the hard, but critical aspects of end of life decisions. I have now been informed and will be hoping to have these conversations with my family in the near future. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was beautifully told, and made me appreciate the choices we make in how we live our lives. As the name suggests, it was more of a hopeful 'carpe diem' movie, in more opinion, than a sad, depressing film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
