Rarely does a film come along that drops jaws through it's bravery to open your mind and expand your consciousness. Many people are unaware of genetic testing that can help you reduce your risk of getting cancer. "Love, Danielle" beautifully written by and starring the stunning Devin Sidell is based on her personal story of tragedy and triumph that will break your heart wide open. With such serious subject matter, it was a delicate balance to inject humor to the story, but it was done beautifully and allowed a respite from the heart wrenching choices facing the characters in the film. All the performances were top notch, and the film was produced so eloquently. Long story short, this film will save lives. What more could you ask for? Spoiler alert: Not much. Go see this film!

This is such an incredibly well written film about a tough topic that deserves more air time! It's perfectly cast to balance humor with insight, education and awareness. It's a raw perspective of Devin's own personal journey that will keep you riveted and wanting to know more. The relationship between the two sisters is so endearing, inspirational and real. Whether you're a cancer survivor, a previvor or family/friend of one, this movie is a must-see! It's not just about cancer, but also about owning our own healthcare journey and the choices and consequences many women face and endure silently.

Many people suffer in silence when they have a major health decision to make. Knowing that others have made the decision and come through successfully is an important lesson of this film.

The actors allow you to journey with them in a way that makes you feel that they are just like yourself and your friends.

Families are alike in many ways and you will see yours and those of your friends on the screen as two close sisters share their individual journeys. Laugh, cry, and cheer with them as they support and love each other. You will be left informed, hopeful, and entertained when you view this gem of a movie.

This feature film was an incredible watch. It was eye-opening to see the vulnerabilities cancer patients undergo and the complexities they must navigate in their personal, professional, and medical journeys. The film helped me appreciate the enduring, uncertain path of navigating a cancer diagnosis (with both ups and downs throughout) and made me think more about the relationship between the medical workforce and patients. The film literally brought to life stories and anecdotes I've read about patients into an intricate story that was appropriately balanced with humor and thoughtfulness. Ultimately, it was a film grounded in sincerity to highlight the experiences patients confront on a daily basis.

Knowing the content in advance, I was pleasantly surprised to find the delightful mix of humor and meaning. This is an important topic that needs to be seen and presented in an inviting and digestible format. I particularly loved the lead actress. She was both honest and entertaining. Her husband's role was beautifully portrayed with full support for his wife and confusion about how to do it! Great acting by familiar and new actors that genuinely nail their characters. Thank you for portraying the sister relationship in a "real" and heartfelt way.

Please watch this movie; it will touch your heart and mind.
