This movie is one of those sad cases when a movie COULD have been really good, but you can just hear the raspberry blowing as the metaphorical balloon deflates.
Because of the subject of Alzheimer's, I wish this had been a good movie. At first, I could feel Louise's hopelessness, both at her diagnosis and at her home situation in the flashbacks. My own dad had Alzheimer's, so I worry about it for myself in the future. The movie, however, was so fake it didn't let me get pulled into the reality of it, which was good for me but bad for the movie.
I see what they were trying to do with the back-and-forth through time, but it didn't work.
The dialogue was cheesy to the point of losing sympathy for the characters.
The whole movie felt like watching a first-time rehearsal rather than a finished movie. Most of the actors were so bad it was embarrassing to watch, especially Bob, Carlo, and Anna. The actors playing Louise and Breeze were ok. As for the actor playing Fred, it's hard to tell since his character was written to be such a stereotype.
