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.
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!

The storyline is powerful. This biopic picks a monumental part of Audrey Evan's life and shows how one person CAN make a difference in the trajectory of pediatric cancer for decades to come. The writer did an incredible job sharing Audrey's story. It left me inspired and wanting to do more, give more and stand up for what I am passionate about. The entire cast and crew did an incredible job. Natalie Dormer's portrayal of Audrey is outstanding. I left the movie wanting to do a deep dive into this time period and Audrey. I was equally impressed how they could turn such a sad topic, pediatric cancer, into something so inspirational and promising. It is also great to see how they closed down the city of Philadelphia, time traveled back to the 1960s with the direction, color, set & costume design, and made the viewers visualize that time period. Definitely recommend this!
Absolute incredible production. This story is so heartwarming!! Finally a movie hits theaters that makes you feel, inspires you, makes you want to do good for the world and never give up. The cast absolutely crushed, Natalie was fantastic. Audrey is a hero and the perfect sort of leader. She is funny, kind, smart, brave, strategic and caring. A female that I will always look up to and admire to be like. This film is a must see. This should make waves through the medical industry and re-inspire and reinvigorate doctors around the world. I hope this movie makes an International push as everyone in the world should be privy to this inspiring story. Well done to everyone that touched this project.
This movie is worth the watch!
