What critics reviewed this movie? Let’s take a look.
Critic Reviews:
Boston Globe, Ty Burr
“Left on their own, the actors bear down or drift away.”
“The sinus-clearing movie makes us feel luxuriously sad that, despite the love of attractive families and the best medical care, some kids get cancer.”
What watchers said about My Sister’s Keeper, take a look.
Watcher Comments:
A surprisingly lovely movie about an absolutely awful subject, My Sister’s Keeper features what also may be the year’s first performance worthy of Oscar mention.
Two hours later I felt as if I was heartless, as all this film did was make me wish I had the last two hours back even after all the melodramatic pain and suffering.
My Sister’s Keeper takes on a very tough subject, but ultimately it is too soft, too easy, and it dissolves like a tear-soaked tissue.
