My Sisters Keeper, a review by venomsinner

My Sisters Keeper

A depressing film, that makes people cry.

So, I got a call on mothers days asking if I would like to go around a friends and watch a movie with her and her mum, I obliged and was stuck watching what can only be described as the saddest film ive seen in a long time.

From the onset my friends mum cried, and I could see my friend fighting back the tears, not one personally for crying, especially at a film. it touched me in another way. It was sincere, having witnessed a relative deal with cancer in a similar way, it was very emotional to have it all come back to me in the style of a film. A film that for whatever reason was changed, probably for the better, from the book.

Overall,  whilst id say this is a greatly moving film, I would not recommend it, to overly emotional unless said people would like to cry through the entire film. But, it has a good, deep well put together story.

3/5
