Surprisingly good.
The premise seemed a little too straightforward at first glance: Doctor becomes patient. But it is so well executed, you can’t help but be drawn in. I kept suspecting it was going to turn sappy at any moment, but director Randa Haines does not hold back on the emotional awkwardness that comes from difficult situations. There is much less sentimentality than Haines’ best-known film, Children of a Lesser God. And although Hurt is far less “charming” in this film than he was in that one, he actually is more watchable. The more difficult he becomes, the more interesting the film gets.Another intriguing aspect of the film is the feelings Chritine Lahti’s character experiences, from sympathy to anger, to jealousy, to feeling shut out, you name it. In fact, the film could have delved even deeper into their marital discord and it would not have lost me. For some this film may go down a little too easily, but I think the accessibility of the subject matter in this case is an asset.
