My Life description Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (author of the fanciful Ghost) made his directorial debut with this more serious confrontation with the realities of death. Michael Keaton plays an advertising executive who learns he is dying even as his wife (Nicole Kidman) is pregnant. The film beautifully focuses on his anger over everything: the unfinished business of his life and the probability he'll never meet his child. The late Dr. Haing S. Ngor (The Killing Fields) is terrific as a doctor who helps Keaton's character to recognize the corrosiveness of his rage and to let go. The film is a heartbreaker but truly cathartic for anyone who has felt the blunt pain of losing someone close. Keaton is outstanding. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | rings true even through the sentimental stuff |
| like many movies there's a bit of extra sentimental stuff here, but it's about as close as you'll get to a realistic portrayal of the cancer experience. the relationship with family could have been a bit less melodramatic, and there are elements of the story that were condensed so they don't really make sense, but Micheal Keaton's transformation as he passes through the stages of cancer is powerful. If only we could all come to terms with our lives with this much clarity and grace. Anyone affected by cancer -- patient, family member, friend -- should see this movie. It gives a hopeful portrayal of the ultimate goal, acceptance. | |
