some are diseasing this site with their ridiculously uneducated, disgustingly immature comments. they should, for a start, introduce themselves to the real definition of post-modernism. I'm pretty sure wikipedia.com would be quite appropriate to their level of understanding.
this movie does not 'tell people points they already know', it was made to educate those who DON'T know of motor neuron disease. and, for those who do, it was made to show that when they go through it they're not as alone as they might feel. It's an effective and realistic portrayal, its 'basic parameter' was not to entertain it was to educate. i think you'll find a vast portion of movies and other productions have the same 'basic parameter'.
Regardless of a lack of chemistry between characters, and an inability to believe they'd even be friends, the characters still honestly show compassion, care, and pain. Many sisters irl may not be friends but there's nothing like the reminder of immortality to bring a family together.
As somebody who has lost a family member to this disease I spent at least half of this movie crying and recommend it to anyone whether they've been affected by it or not, as awareness is always the first step to a solution. For such a relatively obscure disease it's great to see that there is enough curiosity about it to support a film production.
