In this bittersweet comedy, four adult siblings gather at their dying mother's house in North Carolina for what they expect to be a quick, last goodbye. Instead, they find themselves trapped….together…..for two weeks. Through laughter and tears, they come to terms with the tragedies we all must face, and rediscover the joy we find in each other. The film chronicles the Bergmans' alternately heartbreaking and hilarious struggles, intercut with Anita's own reflections on her life and her family. What happens to a family when the one person who holds it together can't hold on anymore?

Absolutely brilliant movie and excellent portrayal of a dying woman by Sally Field. If you watch this have a box of tissues handy. Brought back not so pleasant memories of us watching my father die. Highly recommend viewing.

There is much to like in this poignant movie about those who leave this life and those left behind, and Sally Field gives a brave and convincing portrayal of a woman facing death.

Amazing acting performances, especially by Sally Field. This is a sad, sad, movie, but very moving.

For anyone who has ever held ritual at the bedside of a dying loved one this film film may hit a little close to the bone. It is agonisingly accurate to the point where every scene felt like a re-enactment of a time in my own life. The film was excellent with fantastic performances, particularly from the always brilliant, Sally Field, but there were many moments when I was tempted to turn it off. Just too painful.
