My Sister's Keeper


A Los Angeles family with a teenage child stricken by cancer battles its various demons.

As well as my impromptu shopping to fill in time whilst my car was serviced yesterday I also killed time by seeing My Sister's Keeper simply because the timing suited.

I'm glad that I did.

Sure, it is a tearjerker and sad and it's depiction of childhood illness is sometimes confronting but the serious story is told in an interesting way. The acting is excellent especially by the younger cast members. Sofia Vassilieva is outstanding as the ill daughter and I also was impressed by Cameron Diaz in a rare serious mode.
