Yields beguiling nectar.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

A slog to get through, but Jeanie Drynan's nuanced performance as the enduring matriarch makes it all worthwhile.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

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.

Village Voice Jessica Winter

Bursting with grotesque burlesques of household relations.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

The general talent and dedication of the ensemble mitigate the script's occasional lapses into sentimentality and noisy confrontation.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

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

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Honest but also derivative and crude.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Asks us to spend 101 minutes with people most of us wouldtake pains to avoid in real life.

What Our Users Said

The average user rating for this movie is 8.2 (out of 10) based on 4 User Votes

Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.

Mike L. gave it an 8:
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!

Catherine L. gave it a 10:
A great movie, I was alternately laughing and crying. Andreef brings out the humanity of each of the characters, despite their often difficult personalities.

Chrystal W. gave it a 9:
Very true to life....how many people actually know how to act when someone they love is dying right before their very eyes?
