Acres and Acres

If you want to cry all the way through a movie, you couldn't pick a better one. Unfortunately, I only watched this because it's set in Clevedon and I used to live there so I was interested to see what locations they used. There isn't really a story as it's all apparent right from the start. I have to say that I wouldn't have chosen to watch this if it wasn't filmed in Clevedon. Fortunately, Rafe Spall's character is really irritating, which helps stem the tears. And maybe I blinked, but I've no idea what he (or she) did for a living.

Never heard of this film but it's come on tv tonight. A story of a family who are very much in love. The eldest son had cancer and is in remission when the mum also is struck down with an incurable cancer. She leave behind a list for her husband and wishes for him and their two sons. This is based on a true story and can hit hard how life can be cruel. I have a loving wife and we have two young children together, they're my everything and the thought of this happening to one of us made it so hard to watch. People who go through these battles are incredibly brave, it must be so hard. This is brilliantly acted, but can be hard to watch, especially if you're a family and the thought this could happen to you.

There's nothing uplifting or feel-good about this film. I can't even get all the way through it. Just too damned depressing! Hard to come up with the 150 characters required for a review, so I will just keep adding useless information in order to come up with a review.

Surprised IMDb missed this. Couldn't find it under the American name. Very sad and touching. Life is very short. Gone in the blink of an eye. Don't squander it.
