The film is first heavy, second household. From a normal heavy film, this is distinguished by the absence of any catharsis at the end, that is, the viewer was not released in peace, did not give any idea, did not give salvation to the heroine, everything was just bad and she just died. There is a lot of illogical and stupid in the film, for example, a glutton woman, who, based on the whole role, needs to be fat, is played by a completely fat actress, I watched and did not understand what kind of nonsense she was talking about her completeness. The heroine some strange diagnosis put – the old we would save, and you are young, you can not be saved. Then the nurse tells the story of how the Siamese twins died in her arms – they had one body, two lungs, first a boy died, then a girl. It can't be like that. Siamese twins are always the same sex as any true twins (they are clones in fact), but even if Siamese twins could be of different sex, tell me how can they have two different you know what with a single body? Not happy with the list of wishes of the heroine in the notebook: - To fall in love with someone is an automatic means to break a person’s heart, how can you make such plans when you are going to die? It's highly selfish. - Cheating on my husband. Why? I wish she was unhappy in marriage and corrected some mistake before death, but no, she has a good husband, children, she did everything right, and then suddenly before leaving I wanted to go left. - Write down birthday greetings for your daughters. Is it for girls to grow up and listen to their dead mother's congratulations every year on their birthday? It will keep them ticks in the past with their pain.
The movie's bad. And now I'm going to share my point of view.
I don’t mind that a lot of people liked the movie. The subject is really difficult. You don’t want anyone to do that.
But nevertheless, the main character of the film I was no longer sorry immediately after she planned to cheat on her husband. I don't think that's a good idea a few months before I die. Like most of her 'goals' from the list.
I had no idea the characters would be even dumber. As for the husband, it seems that he does not care at all about his wife if he is ' applauded' a story with anemia. He took his faithful hand and ran to the doctor to hear for himself what was happening! Oh my God, that's not normal!
The acting game leaves much to be desired. I think I understood from whom the unforgettable Kristen Stewart learned facial expressions.
Dialogues are empty, like the skull boxes of characters.
The film crew decided to save on music, so you will hear it two or three times in almost two hours.
Two points I throw only for the situation itself, because it is difficult and sad.
But it's even harder to watch the movie.

Not the best movie about 'I'm going to die soon, so I'm going to change my life.'
I love themes ' only wake up when thunder strikes'.
But it's too bland here. Unemotional on all sides. When Anne finds out she has the disease, her first reaction is:
Do you have a piece of candy?
And when people are calm about it, what to expect from the audience?
Anne seems to be some kind of child who has children himself, rides the same path. She calmly treats her out-of-work husband, she is satisfied that they live in a trailer in their mother’s backyard and give birth to their second child at 19. Getting a job as a cleaner at the university. I don’t think she even understands the scale of the problem. She has one friend who eats all the time.
It’s time to write a classic list of things to do before.
What a strange list that is. Especially to fall in love with another man (or there to fall in love with him?) to understand ' what it is with another person' High.
Instead of spending all the time with the kids, do something for them, quit your job, spend time with them. Cooking, walking, reading books. Oh, my God, why?
No, well, maybe she always wanted to drink, smoke, be with different men. But isn't that a sign of an unhealthy (morally) family?
I would like to highlight Mark Ruffalo’s performance. What the hell is that? Looking at him is just unbearably dreary and you feel some kind of awkwardness. It’s like he’s embarrassed every second that he’s ever been in that scene. Absolutely no emotions on the face, just monotonous pronunciation of their phrases.

I don’t want to write much, but it’s impossible to keep silent about such films. The picture is without intrigue and linear in its presentation, but dramatic and meaningful in every frame.
The plot is simple - an ordinary young girl Anne of 23 years learns that she has only a couple of months to live. Her real life is a trailer, two daughters, a unemployed husband, a world-hating mother and father in prison... but she does not complain, works, does not timidity and finds strength to appreciate love and her surroundings. Anne perceives the news as a very strong person who can remain a person until his last breath. It is a person, not a dying patient or a perfect person.
Excellent selection of actors, camera work, music. The film raises several social and moral themes at once – disappointment in life, perception of death, acceptance of oneself, fear of the possible, desire to be loved... and that’s not all. Touches for the soul, the characters believe, the actions are clear. All characters, even minor ones, have been worked out. Honestly, half of the film sat with tears in his eyes.
It's definitely worth watching. A very touching film about life and love, about death and about a big kind heart.
P.S. Saying goodbye to him, she knew that was hurting him, but she was even more painful.

I wanted something easy and cheerful, albeit with a sad ending. I got good smiles and lots of tears. But the movie is good. It has a lot of nice shots and scenes, stories, characters, in which there is some spark of unusualness. Many things and furnishings perfectly match the notions of something romantic and important... an apartment with bare walls, dancing in nature, getting wet in the rain, casual love. Everything is as I wanted, as recorded. Everything happens naturally and without a hint of judgment. Each character has his own life, which is revealed literally from a couple of phrases, from a short story. And everything is like a puzzle put together...
This film is not the best and should be watched by everyone, because not everyone will understand it.
The subject of death has long been beaten and embellished in many films. It is worth even using the word ' embellished'. But before us there is not a rich man, not a star, after whose loss the whole world will grieve. Before us is an ordinary girl who already at the age of 17 broke her fate by giving birth to a child. All her dreams and hopes for the best went to hell as she came to terms with life in a trailer in her mother’s yard. But everything changes dramatically when she finds out about her illness.
Therefore, she makes a list of things that must be done before death:
“To fall in love with someone” – the person she kissed for the first time, became her husband, and do not be surprised if a girl on the verge of her life wanted to be at least a little like the heroine of a romantic film or book.
But no, to this end, she did not forget about others, because she wrote down congratulations to her girls under 18, and do not reproach her for wanting to fit in these two months the life that ordinary young people live.
The last scene can unsettle even the most callous person.
Before us is the death of an ordinary man, the path to which we walked with this strong spirit girl. What would you do in your place?
One of those films that leaves a mark on the soul is sad and a bit bitter, but still light and warm. A film about love in all its manifestations, primarily about the love of life.
Of course, not all actions of the heroine are clear. For example, having a loving and beloved husband, her search for love is on the side, instead of devoting her last days to him. But such blows of fate can affect everyone in different ways, which to some extent justifies the heroine.
The movie looks easy, despite a lot of pauses and silent dialogue.
It is unlikely that people will like action, but will fall in love with connoisseurs of good drama, giving food for thought and melancholy.
Lee, Anne's lover, was particularly sympathetic. He said, ' I learned not to ask questions. When you look at a person, you see 50 percent, and that's enough for me. '
The film looks easy and at ease, despite a considerable number of pauses and silent dialogues.
It is unlikely that people will like action, but will fall in love with connoisseurs of good drama, giving food for thought and melancholy.
We don’t see bitter tears of loss in this film, we don’t see people running around hospitals in white coats, we don’t see much despair or intentional obsession. It's simple. The film is simple and therefore so close to me. “You’ll always be the guy to take off my T-shirt to wipe my tears.” The main character is not shy and says everything as it is, not ashamed of his desires and thoughts.
The film begins with an amazing dialogue about how she stands in the rain and what she thinks. Having heard it, I already realized that at least because there is this dialogue film can be called my favorite.
Is it worth talking about the non-standard character? I think not. Some of her ginger candy is worth it.
After this film, you are very impressed, as after any good film. I immediately went for a walk along the wet autumn streets, pondering and philosophizing about the film.
23-year-old Anna lives happily with her husband and two daughters. Stars from the sky are not enough, money is not rowing, but feels loved and desired. But once a strange malaise leads her to the doctor’s office, who after a long diagnosis asks Anna to invite her husband. Anticipating the wrong, she demands from the doctor the truth, which turns out to be murderously terrible.
Anna has an incurable disease. And in the degree of development, when the countdown of the remaining days of life is no longer months, but weeks. Malignant education with such an appetite was ingrained in a young and yesterday bursting with health organism that the hostess of this very organism did not even have time to grasp - metastases penetrated so deeply. Anna decides not to tell anyone, not even her husband, about her sentence. The last thing she wants is for everyone behind her back to whisper about death.
Realizing her new situation, she comes to the conclusion that it is urgent to compile a list of cases that she simply must have time to complete. And now, looking in the face of the "bone coom" Anna suddenly discovers in her astonishment feelings of which she had not previously suspected. She acquires the capacity for empathy and for the first time learns that in addition to the burden of daily family duties, there is still true love.
Isabel Cuaxe was born in Barcelona in 1962. She worked as a journalist and studied history. She made her first film at 22. Since 1985, she began to make commercials, and in 1990 she co-founded a company under the label of which she released four hundred of these very videos. Along with advertising products, Quaxe simultaneously managed to shoot art-house feature films (festival favorite was also her film “What You Never Told”) and other documentaries.
Advertising training, most likely, predetermined her directorial style, for which an impeccable compositionally verified picture and necessarily beautiful faces in the frame are especially important. It makes the movie respectable and, in a sense, attractive. But, unlike, for example, Pedro Almodóvar, who acts here as a producer, the picture of Quaxe lacks, if you will, artistic courage.
That’s why instead of “Talk to Her 2” there was a kind of (very high-quality) guide for readers of “Cosmopolitan” on the topic “how to spend the last two months of life after you are diagnosed with cancer.” Although, in fairness, it should be noted that the author has enough taste and tact not to overdo with sentiments and happily avoid pity intonation.
And for this we must say thank you to the Canadian actress Sarah Polly, traditionally stingy on the external manifestation of feelings, but at the same time able to appeal to the viewer active interest in her heroines.
You should watch this movie at least because of Mark Ruffalo, unless, of course, you consider him the Hulk and only the Hulk. His role here is not the main one, but one of the key and sweetest. In depth of sad look and touching it is surpassed only by Sarah Polly, who played a girl who has very little to live. She has beautiful eyes and great dying wishes. For example, write down your daughters congratulations for each birthday before their 18th birthday or find your husband a new wife.
Such films, where the hero learns a deadly terrible secret about his hopeless situation, perhaps, can be combined into one genre. Cinema of this kind usually makes people appreciate life, not waste a minute, appreciate every moment and understand other important things. This movie didn’t make you feel like it.
This is a story about a girl without a dream, a simple mind, not asking herself questions like ' Why me?' She didn't do much, but what she did was beautiful: a couple of daughters, a farewell to her father, an affair with a sad intellectual, isn't that enough? I felt sorry for Leigh, whom she had fallen in love with, and a bunch of people living without dreams, like her and her mother. Anne died, but life goes on: it’s great that she understood and accepted it.
The director is successful, the storyboard is controversial, but beautiful. I like the long dialogue in one frame, close-ups are also good. Isabelle Coixet picked up all the actors well, there is nothing to complain about. She deservedly received for this film ' Golden Bear' from German art house fans, only I don't think this film is art house. This is a good, good movie about the fact that we all die, and the fact that it is little-known on the contrary plays into his hands.
My life without me: did it seem to me, or was the life of Anne’s family and friends better without her?

"My Life Without Me" - for some reason I was attracted to the title of the film and, after reading the abstract, I decided that it deserves immediate viewing. You're right. I love movies that inspire further reflection and help us to look at our everyday lives in a different way. This film is exactly in this category. Indeed, we do not hesitate, just “burn” our lives. Someone overly "actively" ruins her bad habits and immoral behavior, and someone just "passively" stands still. And only a few can boast of a “balanced” course of their life. But if we imagine that we, as Anne the main character of the film, suddenly presented with the “exciting” news – “You only have 3 months left” – what will be our next actions?! Anne was not confused and did not build “dumb” plans, unlike her “friends in misfortune” from the similar film “Knocking to Heaven”, no – she decided to act clearly, measuredly and quite realistically. In principle, her wishes and plans are understandable and understandable. First of all, she thinks about her family, her husband and daughters come first. But at the age of 23, you want something else, especially if you have not seen anything in your life, and there is nothing to compare it with. Her life was rather poor in bright colors and positive emotions. She lacked love, warmth, care and ordinary attention! Not even from my husband, but from my parents! Therefore, it is quite understandable why she writes in her notebook a few “selfish” and “not quite deliberate” desires. And it is their embodiment in life that allows it in these short three months at least “slightly” approach what carries such a beautiful and alluring name “simple human happiness”. Isn't that the main thing?! Everyone has their own “parts” of happiness! And the methods of obtaining it are also individual!
P.S. Appreciate life and decide on your wishes in time! And remember, “It’s never too late to be happy!”

That's amazing. This is the scariest movie I’ve seen in a year. I couldn't watch it nonstop, constantly pressing pause. Either I didn't want it to end, or I couldn't look any further, or I just forgot how to cry. Yes, men can also cry.
Of course, this film should be viewed under a certain mood and it will appeal mainly to those who have gone through something similar in their life or the life of a loved one.
Stunning internal tension will not leave indifferent any connoisseur of dramatic stories. The actors were selected very qualitatively. They're nice to see. They are beautiful externally and internally. Even their clothes are chosen so that they coincide with their images.
It is very interesting how realistic the metamorphosis of the main character is shown. It would seem that she has to quit everything, radically change her life, but, in fact, nothing like this happens in life.
This movie is definitely worth watching! It is worth living an hour and a half with this film.
The film is sad, lyrical, soulful. The main character from the very beginning causes sympathy: she works quite hard, gets tired. Yes, she has a husband and children, but what percentage of people know how to find happiness in this?
Later, when you first learn about her diagnosis, and then the story of her life, you just want to cry. She got married and gave birth very young, did not have time to see almost nothing in this life. No travel, no adventure, no forbidden pleasures.
The heroine also understands that all this time lived as if in a dream, and very much missed. The moment when she makes a list of “what to do before death” is the most delightful and poignant moment of the film, in my opinion.
This is not to say that the film was dynamic. But this is a psychological drama, they are rarely rife with action. Here the main thing is feelings, and here they are actors are great, in my opinion.
The film leaves a feeling of deep sadness - but also awakens the desire to reconsider your life, to do something so that you do not have to regret it. “Human existence must be filled with meaning and joy, then death will not be so terrible,” I think the film says exactly that.
In such a film, there are 2 main risks: go into moralizing and pathos with stories about the vanity of everything earthly or make the film almost a comedy, or at least a story about a kind of “feast during the plague.” The director of the film, and after her and the heroine manages to stay in the middle. The film evokes a glimpse of sadness, but at the same time a certain lightness. Original
