Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Martin's Alzheimer's disease has a very realistic look and feel in the film and may be upsetting and frightening to those who either are getting dementia or those who know someone who has the disease.
- Martin's dementia is not a serious problem at first, but as it progresses, it begins to greatly afflict the relationship between Martin and Barbara and is at one point so severe that Martin has to be placed in an assisted living facility
- the swimming scene where Martin drags Barbara underwater can be intense.
- also the scene where Martin becomes very angry with Barbara and hits her repeatedly could be quite upsetting to viewers.
- towards the end of the film it is implied that Martin is dying.
