Dame Julie Walters stars in a one-off drama inspired by the true story of Dr. Anne Turner, who, in 2006, took her own life in a Zurich clinic having developed an incurable degenerative disease. Having recently witnessed the death of her husband from a neurological disease, Anne Turner is diagnosed with a nearly identical illness and determines to end her life once her condition has reached a critical point. As her health deteriorates, Anne's son and two daughters struggle to reach a consensus over their mother's intentions, and while they search for alternative options, silent recriminations and stubborn practicality threaten to tear the family apart. With her family at logger heads, Anne must also face the fury of her best friend, whose opposing views bring them into direct conflict.

| User ReviewJack PIts gratifying to see that some parts of the world permit the portrayal of an intelligent person's choice to forego the agony of a prolonged death in the clutches of a cruel disease. A brilliant performance by Julie Walters as the real-life central character Anne Turner. (Just to piss off the born-agains a little more, there's a gay marriage near the end.) |
| User ReviewLaura SAbsolutely stunning DVD based on a true story about the decision of Dr. Anne Turner, suffering from a neurological disorder to end her life. Filled w love and compassion. Was particularly moved by the journey w her children, particularly her gay son. Available at the library. |
