Ratings and reviews

Absolutely a great movie! It's been one of my favorite movies for a long time plus I love the storyline. Great family movie especially for anyone who's in the medical field.

Can be difficult to watch at times because the despair of the characters is almost too much to take. You'll never see better acting.

Recommend for anyone interested in the medical field. Inspirational film of the power of hope and perseverance in the face of despair.
