Had me in tears by the end
Such a wonderful story, one that should be told far and wide.
I was on a plane today from Dubai to Manchester and I was flicking through the movie choices, most of the main features I'd already seen before. This film was listed as new and at first I wasn't sure about it but I read the brief description and thought I'd give it a go.i was not disappointed.
I won't do any spoilers but it's such a good story, and the leading actress is now on my watchlist.
When I told my fellow passengers that's I'd just watched a really good movie on childhood cancer, I got a few strange looks.
Make sure you watch the full credits at the end as there are a few bonus clips.

Visionary
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.

A review from one of Audrey's Children!!
Nearly 50 years ago I was diagnosed with Wilm's Tumor at CHOP and fortunately had Dr. Audrey Evans as one of my Oncologists! Remarkably, a week ago I held hands with my 92 year old mother while watching this wonderful movie at the theater. Audrey truly is an inspiration to all to keep fighting for what we know is right! So hopeful that this will continue to shed light on the importance of continued cancer research and the amazing difference one woman can make during these truly turbulent times. Thank you to all involved for sharing her story, it truly could not have come at a more poignant time! The story, directing, casting was phenomenal! Looking forward to sharing it with my family soon!!
A hero is an understatement!
This was such an incredible movie. Dr. Evans overcame so much in her career to improve the lives of her children. Such a well done film, excellent movie from start to finish! Especially with the climate of political funding, this movie highlights the importance of critical medical research and the need for continued efforts to save the lives of children all over the world. Thank you, Dr. Evans for not giving up and for sharing your incredible mind. You truly were the greatest human and doctor! Thank you for working so hard to improve neuroblastoma treatment and outcomes. And lastly, thank you Julia Fisher Farbman for such a beautiful film!
Audrey is the hero I never knew of
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.
