    Passing on with Dignity

    This film presents multiple issues of Oregon's Death With Dignity Act in a sensitive, generous manner. No brow beating heavy handed endorsement of the Act in the screen play or the acting. It will make you think as well as being a fun way to spend the evening. Recommended highly.

    not bad...

    But she , the dying caracter, is far too fresh and healthy to make a big lashing breakout of tears from my standpoint. also its a bit superfiscial at moments, even though i suppose its meant to cheer up the audience, it doesnt work that way in real life. reminiscence is a great part of the plot, and in those cases with death with dignity, the dying has to be sound and healthy mentally so it might bring forward a massive amount of clear memories that can make a good basis of making the bold desiscion to die.

    but still its a good film, with love ad charm from many angles, the plot becomes a bit hurried because its such a vast thing, but its done quite well. it has a wellknitted score amlyfying the emotional waves throughout the whole seanse. technically there are no flaws to mention.

    its an important subject to display the limelight on, death with dignity must be a great solution if there are no chance to change destiny, and the hope for miracles are pretty loonitisious then the grumpy old man wouldve done the same, why not beat death with death, wouldnt that be a little bit of heaven??? recommended

    Dying on Your Own Terms

    This is an Emotional film about dying on your own terms. Anna (Anna Camp) is dying from cancer. The film starts with having already decided how she wants to die. She is simply coming home to make amends with her brother before she dies. What in sue is a powerful film about the importance of being with the people you love. It also raises interesting questions about what it means to die with dignity. I cried for almost the entire film, even though there are tones of beautiful little family moments. I know a lot of people won't agree with Anna's decisions, but I think the film highlights the importance of thinking about this issue and seeing both sides. Anna Camp's performance was simply amazing. It's possibly her best performance ever. This movie is hard to come by since there was no DVD, and streaming is limited. But I would defiantly seek this film out. If for nothing else to see Anna's amazing performance.

    A rather empty experience

    I do feel bad for being so harsh to an indie film, but it really has an emptiness to it. Not because of the depressing nature of the film but of the makeup of the film, because it ends and I wonder why this movie exists. I question if the creatives had real motivation behind it. For me, the only reason I watched it was because I knew someone that was in it.

    Joe Lo Truglio was definitely the best part. The whole cancer thing just feels conjured up by writers, which it was, but if you do it right you feel more than just pity for the main character.

    A beautiful and very important movie.

    Here Awhile is a beautiful film about subject matter that is incredibly important. Anna Camp's performance is stunning and I really felt like I was on the journey with her every step of the way. This is a movie that will definitely open your heart and encourage important conversations with loved ones. Thank you to the filmmakers for taking such love and care with a difficult subject, and sharing this very raw look at real life in a way that is tender, purposeful, and doesn't shy away from asking hard questions of not only the characters in the movie, but also the viewer.

      Anna: If I should die, and leave you here awhile Be not like others sore undone, who keep Long vigils by the silent dust and weep. For my sake, turn again to life, and smile, Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do Something to comfort weaker hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine, And I, perchance, may therein comfort you!
