Away From Her
Canada 2007, 110 minutes
Dir. Sarah Polley
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Drama / Romance
Aroview: Julie Christie stars in this carefully observed drama about a woman with Alzheimer's, her husband, and the tragedy of the disease's 'long goodbye', adapted from the Alice Munro story 'The Bear Came Over The Mountain'.
The directorial debut by actress Sarah Polley, this is as considered and mature as her performances in such films as THE SWEET HEREAFTER and MY LIFE WITHOUT ME.

4 stars (Very Good) A beautiful deft handling of Alzheimers without veering into over-sentimentalised territory. Powerful performances and aptly fitting soundtrack. Nice use of Neil Young. Kahuninja ~Kahuninja
