This movie did not impress me at all, and JLaw definitely didn't deserve the Oscar for this cluster (she should have won for Winter's Bone). The portrayal of mental illness was shiesty, in my opinion. Bradley Cooper was ok, but not his best.
Writing this has reminded me that I need to toss the dvd in my sell pile to go to half price books.

"When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. Kalanithi’s brave memoir chronicles in exquisite prose his brave battle with terminal illness, but rather than verge into depressing territory, it is a triumphant and inspiring read. His words make one rethink our perception of time—to not only imagine what we might achieve in the future, but to cherish the beauty that surrounds us in the present"

"This is a film that I could deeply personalize with. When making my films Tarnation and the follow-up, Walk Away Renee, I easily recalled this amazing film in my mind’s eye. I have never seen a film depicting mental illness so raw and pure as this. The film is so real that one often feels that they are really, really eavesdropping on something. Amazing."
