Although Winterbottom intended this tale of serious illness to escape the grip of melodrama, that's exactly where it ends up.

Intense. Realistic. Worth seeing. It's timeless with real characters.

I was enjoying this until it turned into a Serious Drama About Serious Issues That You Should Take Seriously. Apart from the nice montage at the end, pretty much everything after the words "multiple sclerosis" come up on screen is a chore to watch. Also Juliet Aubrey is a total charisma vacuum, though I'm sure anybody would have trouble with that nothing character.

A liitle too much love if you ask me but worth a look. Tricky makes a funny cameo and great catching Alison Goldfrapp in her early days.Also recommend for people suffering from MS.
