Julie (Miranda Otto) is on a ski trip with her twin children when her son Nick (Ryan Smith) suddenly collapses. After rushing home, she discovers her husband, Henry (William Fichtner), is cheating on her. In the midst of this domestic turmoil, Julie discovers that her son has cancer -- and, worse yet, he's allergic to the chemotherapy drugs that could save his life. So Julie places her trust, and eventually her heart, with Polish faith healer Alexei (Lothaire Bluteau).

Peter Howell Toronto Star Where Holland falters is in bringing the movie to a satisfying conclusion. Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2003 Full Review Ray Conlogue Globe and Mail It doesn't work, but Otto performs heroically, sustaining the character of Julie to the movie's final moments. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 20, 2003 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com a tragic (in both senses of the word) missed opportunity. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2004 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com At the halfway stage I was convinced I was watching a film that would blow audiences away, but it just couldn't hold things at that standard for the full running time. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 6, 2003 Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies Part lousy TV movie-of-the-week, part bodice-ripper, part emotional hooey. Rated: 1/5 Jun 6, 2003 Full Review Shlomo Schwartzberg Boxoffice Magazine An unmoving, cold affair of the heart. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 4, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Just watch this movie. So predictable but a very beautiful escape from life's problems. Completely predictable and ridiculous to the point of being silly but the characters are very likable. There's a border collie named Batman and it's filed on Nova Scotia 🌊 which appears like a character in this film. Strong positive Christian message - serious pagan humanist magical vibes. Fun! One of my favorite songs featured.😍 Camilla Luddington is truly magical as Cecelia. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie. very real. good for healers to think about. we GIVE ... and others tend to take.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member an ambitious story that falls flat with a depressing ending Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought Miranda Otto was very good in this movie. It is one of those movies that I still think about from time to time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange but entertaining and twisted film. Leaves you wondering and shoked. It will keep you watching and satisfied. 21/2 to 3 stars. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Promising film with one of those empty endings... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
