It's nice to see serious issues other than crime and drugs in the movies and even nicer to see a filmmaking talent like Sarah Polley blossoming....read the complete Away from Her (2007) review at Apollo Guide (Brian Webster)

If nobody advised you beforehand that this film was the work of indie actress extraordinaire Sarah Polley, it's unlikely you would guess that this was made by someone of just 28....read the complete Away from Her (2007) review at Empire Magazine [UK]

I just couldn't take my eyes of the television screen while watching this movie! It was ever so touching and will always be one of my all time favorite movies. ...

The film opens with a closeup of a small piece of paper, held in an old hand...the camera pans up, and we see that the old hand belongs to the old face of an old man, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) who is driving in a wintry landscape. Soon the scene cuts to ...

One of the most moving movies I have seen. Julie Christie is magnificant. Sarah Polley's handling ov the material is magical. I also recommend reading the original short story by Alice Munro called "The Bear Went Over The ...

As she does, she insists on checking in to ...

You can read other reviews here for the plot synopsis or rave reviews of the performances. Some reviewers said the Alzheimer's effects didn't ring true enough or weren't "ugly" enough. Well, this isn't a documentary about the disease. And not all ...

This movie is not for anyone who does not want to face the realities of the horror of Alzheimer's disease. The acting is splendid. Julie Christie is superb, and Gordon Pinsent presents a chilling portrayal of the journey from complete denial to final and ...
