One of the best films I have seen

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2006)

having worked with people whom had Alzheimers and Dementia I could totally empathise with the characters in this story. More of course with the family of the patient but - my job was giving families respite from the sufferers and I saw a lot of the confusion that comes with the disease. The patients had forgotten the recent part of their lives first, so the children were the first to be forgotten. Then the spouses etc. The patients would look at photos and ask me who these people were and wonder where their parents were etc....... heart-wrenching to watch. Not only was this portrayed well in the film - the couples 'story" itself was great. Acting was wonderful as was the cinematographer. Lastly - how DID they get those ducks to stay put?!
