I didn't understand what the director wanted to say with this movie, because nothing really arrives to an end. The theme and the idea are good, however I didn't like the way in which they had been developed: there isn't a real communication between the characters and they all seem confused, not well delineated.
The relationship between Emma Thompson and the boy affected by leukemia is vague and nonsense, as each protagonist's action seems to be. Also her sentimental relation with her husband doesn't really follow a growth or a big change, arriving somewhere.
Finally, the rythm of the movie is very slow.
