This is a beautiful, yet heartbreaking performance by Julianne. It is not by any means an easy movie to watch as a matter of fact it scared me as this is one of my biggest fears. From a technical standpoint the movie is pretty paint by the numbers but her performance is brilliant. It is not the "look at me I'm acting" it is very subtle. I read the book after and understand why my son's girlfriend liked it more. In the book you get a deeper understanding of when she was lucid and not. There would have been to many "tricks" to show that in a movie.
