    Very true to life....how many people actually know how to act when someone they love is dying right before their very eyes?

    A great movie, I was alternately laughing and crying. Andreef brings out the humanity of each of the characters, despite their often difficult personalities.

    Great movie. Nearly as good as "Bliss" and on par with "Muriel's Wedding." I found my copy in Blockbuster's dumpster as they jettison VHS. What a lucky find!

    This Australian tear-jerker finds more humor than you'd imagine possible in the story of a dying woman getting to know her adult children.

    Bursting with grotesque burlesques of household relations.

    The characters...are so unlikable that one longs for a bit of cheap sentiment if only to make them palatable.
