My Sister's Keeper (2009)

Written by: Jeremy Leven and Nick Cassavetes.
Directed by: Nick Cassavetes

Interesting to see that 95% of the audience were women. Where are all brave men? My Sister’s Keeper is based on the novel with the same title by Jodi Picoult. What starts out as a pretty unbelievable comedy-drama ends in a a cresciendo of sentimental tears (in the audience), all while watching Abigail Breslin, Sofia Vassilieva and Cameron Diaz acting really well.

Around 2/3 into the the movie it seemed that that they had failed in structuring the story, but then a superb twist appeared and during the last act it was all neatly tied together. Certainly worth watching, especially if you want to be reminded of what a family is. Handkerchief recommended.
