I thought this was a very good movie. Oprah and Mary Rose Byrne. They both had GREAT performances. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It captivated me from the beginning. Though I knew it was based upon a true story, I knew it was not a factual documentary. I thoroughly recommend the movie. It definitely peaked my interest to learn more about the story of Henrietta Lacks and the ill-gotten cells used by John Hopkins. It is a VERY sad story!!! And the fact that her kids have not received compensation is despicable and wrong!!!
I liked the storyline. However, the acting was sub par - except for Sage (Mandahla Rose), Kathryn (Adrienne Barbeau), and Dr. Luke* (Randy Wayne).
*He did much better when he was paired up with Rose and/or Barbeau.
There were a couple unrealistic scenes. One, where the friend (a fellow doctor) stood back and, from a distance) "directed" the nurses on life-saving measures. The doctor normally steps-in to try and save a person's life.
The second situation was when Dr. Luke performed a cesarean on his own wife. That is a definite NO-NO!

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE A Chef's LIfe. Vivian (and Ben) are great to watch. I enjoy watching it more than ANY show on the Food Network. I no longer subscribe to cable and don't miss it one bit. This is a quality show that really enhances my at-home cooking skills and knowledge of food. I love the way Vivian infuses local ingredients into her cooking and restaurant menu. I also especially LOVE the authentic "southern" (or eastern to be more exact) cooking instruction offered by Lily; I am glad they allow her to be who she is. Warren is also an asset to the show; I am impressed with his garden and knowledge of ingredients (food).
It is so refreshing to watch and listen to someone is REAL. I even like Vivian's drawl. The shows does not appear to be scripted as other shows. I ALSO like seeing the pre-opening staff meetings. Great stuff! It is so impressive when the wait staff really knows the foods that are offered on the menu.
This is an authentic show!!!!
I hope to one day be a patron of Chef and the Farmer restaurant.
