I thought it was a bit hokey and glammed up Hollywood. I think the author of the blog give the screenwriter way too much credit. I think the writer wanted to create an interesting story and stumbled upon this “greatness” completely by accident. There were definitely some clues in the movie that this was the case rather than being a movie that was the result of someone actually taking the time to understand grief and all of its ramifications.

I found the movie both comforting and inspiring. It gave me much to think about over the days and weeks following the time when I saw the movie. But, I could tell others in the audience just didn't get it. They kind of looked at each other like, “What the....?” I am glad that someone in Hollywood could write and produce a movie that helped me along in some way.

I am so glad to have read this blog! I saw this movie and knew it had some deep meaning to it. But, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was! I guess I am fortunate not to have to relate to such trauma and sadness. I wonder if other people similarly affected drew the same view of the movie?

I also saw the movie and didn't quite make those same connections. I saw the residents as mirrors of the doctor in various states of his life. Then, those states came together to act on a common goal. Without any of these parts, the doctor would not have been as successful. This is a very insightful review the author has written.
