About this product
Product Information
A career-driven woman diagnosed with ALS hires a young caregiver, whose ability to bring out the best in her devastated patient more than makes up for her lack of experience in this compassionate, uplifting drama. Kate (Hilary Swank) is in the prime of her life when she learns that she is suffering from the progressive, incurable motor-neuron disease. Devastated, she starts working with her husband Evan (Josh Duhamel) to seek out a full-time caregiver. In time, Kate and Evan's search leads them to Bec (Emmy Rossum) a floundering young woman who didn't let her lack of experience prevent her from applying for the job. Later, as Kate begins to reawaken Bec's latent sense of purpose, Bec inspires Kate to start living life on her own terms. Jason Ritter, Ernie Hudson, Frances Fisher, and Marcia Gay Harden co-star.Product Identifiers

ALS patient & caregiver
Kate (Hilary Swank) is an ALS patient and Bec (Emmy Rossum) is her inexperienced caregiver. Both women have emotional issues but they bring out the best in each other. Not for children (a couple of explicit sex scenes, marijuana smoking, and sad deaths). Ultimately uplifting and realistic...after all, everybody dies, and we don't always succeed in getting what we desperately want, but hopefully there are a few good friends and fun times in even the most tragic life. If you like this film, I also recommend THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, about a skiier adjusting to life as a quadriplegic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

10 hankie film
I loved this movie. Hilary Swank's performance was excellent as it always is, but I loved her assistant and how thru working with HIlary she turned herself into a scattered brained silly girl into a deep feeling, responsible woman, who knows the value of life and love, and especially dedication. Absolutely wonderful film A+++++++++Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
