NOTES Psychologist befriends patient with terminal illness.

Sentimental rather than insightful.

So slow to begin you might wonder what the film is about. It

seems that if a film is about someone dying it's O.K. to show

every boring and trivial detail of their lives. Drama is about

representative selection, among other things.

Moore's character has cancer of the liver and before she dies

there is a reunion with her daughter whom she had adopted.
