Review of Living Proof (2008) by Darko J — 27 Jun 2009

This movie was a really good cry. The actors all brought their a-game and sold their performances, though Bernadette Peters still managed to steal every scene she was in. The movie tells an important true story, but at some point is pure emotional manipulation.

I enjoy having my emotions manipulated by stories (it's one of the reasons I see so many movies), but I also understand that it isn't good storytelling. Also, the ending was a huge let-down after the amazingness of the movie that preceeded it.

A really really good movie, despite its two noticeable flaws.
