Sarah Polley is under 30 and "Away From Her" is a genius project for any age of filmmaker. Wow. Just amazed at the sensitivity of the direction and the spectacular performances.
Julie Christie is so adept at convincing her audience, there wasn't a dry eye at our screening.
Gordon Pinsent and Olymia Dukakis were equally as gripping in this quiet, realistic tale.
If it doesn't get an Oscar for somebody - there is REALLY something wrong with the distribution and/or with AMPAS.
come along everyone !
Give Sarah your votes.
