Review of My Life Without Me (2003) by Allison H — 17 Sep 2008
Isabel Coixet proves (if it needed to be proved) that she is an excellent filmmaker that has some serious stuff in her mind she needs to get out. Her screenplay takes you by the cliché road of "I have 2 months before I die" with the hand of an expert in emotions and her direction makes Sarah Polley the best actress on Earth just for a while. Coixet seems to have a fascination for her and for cars as the best (and most heartbreaking) scenes are into a car: Ann recording birthday messages for her daughters... Ann and Lee kissing and screaming... Ann's mom remembering how sad she is.
Isabel Coixet is a pure talent that needs to be seen and Sarah Polley and Mark Ruffalo prove once more how great actors they are.
A masterpiece.
