Reviews
Coixet's dignified, heartfelt little indie drama proves that dying young doesn't always come with the schmaltz of a Julia Roberts movie. Outstanding.
My Life Without Me is an impressively acted, uplifting, thoughtful film that transcends its seemingly depressing subject matter. Highly recommended.
While the subject matter sounds morbid and depressing, the film is anything but! It vibrates with real life rhythms of speech and relationships
My Life Without Me is not a gentle film. Insistent and unforgettable, it wounds on the inside, and the scars feel fresh for some time.
(...) Una de las películas más hermosas que se hayan filmado sobre eso tan extraño y tan temido que es el tiempo que queda antes de morir.
A grande força (do filme) reside na poderosa performance da jovem Sarah Polley.
Watching My Life Without Me is enervating. Coixet is so determined not to indulge the story’s potential for sentiment that she overcompensates on the dreariness.
This is a film for people who like to cry, and there's a contrived element that's inherent to the beautiful-death genre. Still, Polley is the film's saving grace…
Plagued by phony poetic moments and self-conscious quirkiness (Maria de Medeiros appears as a braid-wearing hair stylist obsessed with Milli Vanilli...)
Gets that messy emotional juncture between bruised torment and naked despair just right
It takes considerable sleight of hand, and a certain temerity, to fashion an uplifting tale about death. Yet My Life Without Me pulls it off.
My Life Without Me thematizes the perennial problem of identifying with characters.
