My Life Without Me

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Isabel Coixet
2003 / 106min / 35mm

Diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer and given two months to live, overworked 23-year-old Vancouverite Ann (Sarah Polley) conceals the news from her two young daughters and chronically unemployed husband, Don (Scott Speedman), using what time she has left to set her affairs in order, visiting her imprisoned father, recording a slew of birthday messages for her children, attempting to set Don up with a replacement wife, and embarking on an extramarital affair with a recently single man, Lee (Mark Ruffalo), that goes much further than she anticipates. “Polley has been blessed with a heroic and brilliantly written role… [A] truly inspiring cinematic achievement… Exquisitely rendered.” –Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
