When 23-years old mother of two, Ann, discovers she has only two months to live, she decides to keep the news from her family. Instead, she begins a list of goals in preparation for the last few months of her life. Among them: to find a new wife for her husband, and to take a lover herself.
Luminous as a working-class woman rushing to make up for lost time, Sarah Polley lights up the screen in Isabel Coixet’s life-affirming drama. Also starring sensitive heartthrob Mark Ruffalo, this clear-eyed take on mortality grapples with the limitations of monogamy and a broken healthcare system.
