Our take

Made without a script, and with a supporting cast made up of real doctors and health professionals, this piercing feature from German filmmaker Andreas Dresen offers a rigorously unsentimental account of a brain cancer diagnosis. It’s a tough subject, but one handled with boundless compassion.
