The DVD can be purcahsed at Borders books and it is the most realistic portrayal of dementia I've seen. It is moving and real without being sappy. Certainly worth the cost of the DVD.

There's been some discussion about the movie on a thread "Bill" started a while back. Mixed reviews...

I just bumped it up for you. Smiler

It is all in the eye of the beholder. I did not find it realistic. Sanitized to the max for me based upon my experience.

I also did find it sappy in the Hollywood genre. But that's just me. Everyone will bring their own assessment based upon their own experience and taste.

Reading Bill's thread certainly shows the diversity regarding the critiques.

It is interesting to hear from others on this film.

Hey Deb,
I just finished reading your book and it was wonderful and I have found it very helpful.
