Reviews

Mick LaSalle wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle of May 5, 2006 that the film was far removed from the "usual schemes" of films about fatal diseases. The comedy watch well; their direction shows sensitivity to the individuality of the characters. The "strong representations" even in small roles would prove a sure hand of the director. Cynthia Nixon conveys an abundance of emotions for which she does not need dialogue.
