This is an Emotional film about dying on your own terms. Anna (Anna Camp) is dying from cancer. The film starts with having already decided how she wants to die. She is simply coming home to make amends with her brother before she dies. What in sue is a powerful film about the importance of being with the people you love. It also raises interesting questions about what it means to die with dignity. I cried for almost the entire film, even though there are tones of beautiful little family moments. I know a lot of people won't agree with Anna's decisions, but I think the film highlights the importance of thinking about this issue and seeing both sides. Anna Camp's performance was simply amazing. It's possibly her best performance ever. This movie is hard to come by since there was no DVD, and streaming is limited. But I would defiantly seek this film out. If for nothing else to see Anna's amazing performance.

Dying on Your Own Terms
Passing on with Dignity
This film presents multiple issues of Oregon's Death With Dignity Act in a sensitive, generous manner. No brow beating heavy handed endorsement of the Act in the screen play or the acting. It will make you think as well as being a fun way to spend the evening. Recommended highly.
Beautifully done
My late wife was suffering mentally and physically but didn't meet the strict requirements of the Death with Dignity Act. She took her life, alone, on 2-20-2015. She left videos on her iPhone that were very similar to the death bed remarks in the movie. It's tragic that we don't let our animals linger with pain and suffering yet many will let fellow humans suffer. The movie quote "You haven't been in my shoes" is so true. Please join your local Compassion & Choices chapter to encourage similar laws in States so that death with dignity becomes a choice.
