This felt so long and drawn out. I kept wanting and waiting for it to end.

It was interesting to see the relationships between these sisters change and heal. Complex interactions among themselves and with their independent mother are revealed.

I was very disappointed when I watched it. Very poor characters development. Entire scenes lacking internal coherence (like the dancing scene). The end seems to rush over the characters, giving like a tidy plot line to a situation otherwise really messy. Carolina (Katic character) makes a totally implausible turn as a character in just the last couple of minutes. The overall impression is that the film tries to achieve more that it can handle. At least the four actresses got each one a couple of scenes to shine. Pitty we could not get more insight about each one inner thoughts. Too many footage focusing in parts of thr plot that were pretty obvious (the did not need visual explnation, cause yoy could guess them abd see them coming) while the ones which could have enriched the film were missing.

An incredible film about an incredibly difficult subject, dying with dignity and on your own terms in the face of a terminal illness. The film is poignant, funny at times, and very moving. The performances of the five leading ladies were brilliant. A must watch.
