#26 Critical film review


  The film I chose to write a review about is My Sister's keeper. The story is about a girl named Kate who is diagnosed with cancer at very young age. Her mother Sara doesn't want her child to die so she has another child,Ana. Ana is a perfect match for all surgeries transplants and donations Kate will need.
Overall I think this is a very good film.
    The film shows the importance of life and listening to each other. There are times where it gets a little boring but then again all movies have there boring parts, so it is worth your while in the long run. The story gives a very real feeling to it almost like your hearing the experience first hand. One thing I wasn't to fond of was how they would have different characters narrate different parts this was kind of interesting it would be cool to see it done in a way that worked more.
     Cameron Diaz's performance is very good in this movie. You usually see her play the rolls of a somewhat likable character and that's what she has become known for. But not in this movie, in this one she is the crazy mother who will do whatever she thinks is best for her daughter even if it is not what she wants to do.
      The main purpose of the husband's part Brian, is to be a foil to his wife. A foil character  is set up as an opposite or contrast to another more primary character. On another note note I think that the idea of making a child with certain genetic make up is pretty messed up. This is because if you are making things a certain way you are planning on using them and having some born a certain just so you can use them is not entirely right.
       Overall I say this is one of the more touching and down to earth movies I have seen and I really appreciated it. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars
