Review of My Sister's Keeper (2009) by Liz — 16 May 2011
Sad.... VERY VERY sad. Terribly heart-wrencingly sad. But inspirational too. I agree with the press when I say that Cameron Diaz gave one of the best performances of her life, but sadly that isn't saying much, because she was the least of it's many gifts.
Abigal Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva gave wonderfully hilarious, tear-jerking, dramatic, and lovable jobs. They acted amazingly. They did so perfectlly you believed every word out of the mouths and every action.
The rest of the cast (mostly the three other males including the family and Alec Baldwin's character) were wonderfully portrayed but didn't stand out like lime green on black. They were more of a dark green that was present but not eye-catchingly obvious.
The sets, costumes, ESPECAILLY make-up, script, and direction were all wonderful.
If you think you know the ending because of the book... well I won't say more (WINK WINK).
RATED PG-13 for:
Violence including vomit, blood, and bruises, also hospital scenes may be scary to younger children.
Language.
Some sexual content (Mostly just kissing but one scene of moderate sensuality.).
