Audrey's Children

This movie is worth the watch!

The life Dr. Audrey Evans is a story that needs to be told! What an amazing and inspirational woman - a true ground breaker for female doctors and well as women in science.

It's a powerful testimony to how far childhood cancer research & treatment has come. It also highlights the struggles families experience when they have a child with cancer.

It highlights the amazing work of the children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Ronald McDonald House charities (RMHC.)

Dr. Audrey Evans was a true pioneer, who wasnt afraid to speak her mind and do what was right for her patients.

Julia Fisher Farbman's story of Dr. Audrey was fantastic and Natalie Dormer's portrayal was wonderful and heartwarming; truly bringing Dr. Audrey's desire to make a difference to life on screen.

Though just the beginning of Dr. Audrey's inspiring story, it will (or should) make the viewer want to learn more about her journey to save "her" children and all the strides she made in trying to do so.

This is a story that should be taught in schools. A lesson in what perseverance, dedication, hard work and a true love of subject can drive a person to do.

Always happy to see Philadelphia portrayed in a positive light too!

I felt that the film was very well balanced. It showed the complexity's of being a woman in a male dominated environment. Her compassion for the children and their parents was self evident. I also liked how easily she could subvert or coerce people to her side. The opening scene of the movie tell you everything you really need to know about her personality. Her tenacity is a blessing and a curse. At times, she doesn't know when to take her foot off the gas pedal and apply the brakes. My only complaint is that I would love to have seen a little bit more of her personal life during this Period. As a Philadelphian I'm a Lil was ashamed that I didn't know anythingabout her.

I just listened to an interview that the writer of the film, Julia Fisher Farbman, gave and during the interview, she shared "if nothing else, I hope this story gives people hope". When I left the movie, I felt hopeful that in a scary world and in a world where pediatric cancer still exists and there is no cure YET, we can hold onto hope. We can can maintain the power of the word YET because we leave the film having hope. This movie shows to me how one person CAN make a difference in the world. I thought the entire cast and crew did a wonderful job. We need more movies like where the storytelling makes others want to do more to impact the world.

The movie was amazing and inspiring! It has the right amount of comedy sprinkled in to offset the extremely heavy and emotional subject matter. Lots of great acting and as expected led incredibly by Natalie Dormer. Highly recommend experiencing the lovely storytelling and the chance to learn about a true pioneer such as Audrey.
