A good movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Hilary Swank and since this movie had some decent rating on IMDb, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, the story was seriously generic and predictable. Indeed, the caregiver was at first a mess but, of course, she turned out to be amazing, resulting in a seemingly perfect relationship with her patient. On top of that, I always find it really annoying when they release a movie just when a terrible disease has been all over the media. Because of these flaws, there was no way that this movie could have been really amazing and, yet, I have to admit that it still worked. First of all, I gave it a few extra points because it was the first movie I ever saw dealing with ALS so, only therefore, it was still an interesting watch. Then, even though the characters were rather stereotypical, Hilary Swank and Emmy Rossum both delivered some solid performances. In fact, even though you might think that Swank would steal the show, I think that Rossum with her very messed-up character was actually more interesting but eventually, both characters didn't get much space to evolve as the makers faithfully followed the rules in this genre. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was still a decent watch and it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in this subject.
