My Sister's Keeper

An astonishing story... based on a novel thoughtfully written by author Jodi Picoult. A must to see....
Cameron Diaz is magnificent in her role as Sara(Mum)and Jason Patric as Brian(Dad)

At age 2 Kate is diagnosed with leukaemia. When no one in the family is a match to become a donor her Mum,Sara goes ahead with a plan to have a specifically designed baby that will become the source to keeping her daughter alive. However, when Anna is older, she instigates legal action to gain the right to control her own body.


I do not believe anyone could watch this compelling movie and not find deep emotion gets the better of them.

You encounter fractures that develop within an otherwise harmonious family as varying challenges need to be met and decisions made. The all absorbing way her Mum, almost on auto, pursues to keep Kate alive. How a husband and father who has a job that in itself saves lives, observes and attempts to maintain a balance and quality of life for each member of the family, proves riveting and tear jerking. Wow,the list could go on....

The value of "family", devotion and dignity are just some of the issues that this film demonstrates.

Soon after Kate's burial, Anna received documents declaring her officially and medically emancipated.

I score this film 9 (10 is high)
