Full Plot Details

Grant and Fiona Anderson have been married for forty-four years. Their marriage has been a generally happy and loving one although not perfect due to some indiscretions when Grant was working as a college professor. Fiona has just been admitted to Meadowlake, a long term care facility near their country home in southwestern Ontario, because her recent lapses of memory have been diagnosed as a probable case of Alzheimer's disease. She and Grant made this decision together, although a still lucid Fiona seems to have made peace with the decision and her diagnosis more so than Grant. With respect to the facility, what Grant has the most difficulty with are what he sees as the sadness associated with the facility's second floor - where the more advanced cases are housed - but most specifically the facility's policy of no visitors within the first thirty days of admission to allow the patient to adjust more easily to their new life there. Based on what he sees when he is finally able to visit Fiona, Grant ultimately makes a request of Marian Barque, the wife of one of the other patients, a semi-comatose Aubrey Barque, with whom Fiona has struck a friendship and who is now at home permanently with Marian. The request is to see to both Fiona and his own happiness in this unfortunate situation.

Movie Reviews

Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil Villarreal"Away From Her" is at once one of the most romantic love stories and most frightening horror films I've ever seen.
New York Observer - 10/10 by Andrew SarrisI have seen few films in recent years as emotionally engrossing and edifying. It is not to be missed by any moviegoer professing to be looking for something different.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Ruthe SteinTo say it is about a debilitating disease is as reductive as saying "Little Miss Sunshine" is about a beauty pageant. Both are intimate stories of family ties that bind but sometimes also choke.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertAnyone who could read Munro’s original story and think they could make a film of it, and then make a great film, deserves a certain awe.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Ann HornadayRarely has love at any age been depicted so honestly on screen. For such a fully realized portrait to be created by a 28-year-old first-time director is even more remarkable.
Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley LovellA beautifully acted, poignant film about a man who slowly loses his wife to Alzheimer's.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Away From Her is a film of piercing clarity, one that knocks you out over and over again with its beauty and generosity.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonOne of the most remarkable and moving love stories the movies have recently given us.
NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Prairie MillerJulie Christie as an Alzheimer's afflicted wife achieves the perfect psychological mixture of despair, mystery, rebellion against the unappreciated devotion that has been her lot in married life, and an ultimate odd but eloquent personal liberation.
Atlantic City Weekly - 10/10 by Lori HoffmanTackling a sorrowful subject with compassion and even an occasional laugh, actress Sarah Polley makes an impressive full-length debut as writer and director ...
