*Mild spoilers* - nothing you don't find out in the first five minutes. As a fan of Jefferson Moore's movies, I was surprised and delighted that he decided to tangle with the important issue of breast cancer in women.
This movie pulled no punches with just how badly the main character, Becca, sank after she made the devastating discovery that she needed a double mastectomy. She quickly lost everything she held dear and sank into a lonely life of misery, living alone, eating and drinking too much and never seeing the light of day.
Then one day she made a connection that changed everything. Unlike many stories of recovery and redemption, Becca's journey was not an overnight event. It took time and patience from many, including herself.
The subject matter is handled thoughtfully and we are never smacked over the head by the director's message. The characters are real people and these issues are reflected in the lives of many who have been touched by this horrid disease. Indeed, the credits list how many involved in the film have been effected.
Well done to all the cast of this film. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you have a full box of tissues available. You're going to need them.
