NotesPsychologist befriends patient with terminal illness. Sentimental rather than insightful. So slow to begin you might wonder what the film is about. It seems that if a film is about someone dying it's O.K. to show every boring and trivial detail of their lives. Drama is about representative selection, among other things. Moore's character has cancer of the liver and before she dies there is a reunion with her daughter whom she had adopted.
