Friday (2000)

Thought provoking and true insight into a breast cancer patient's life.

[29 August 2003]

I recently saw this short film on IFC. The film itself is most likely low-budget considering it is in black and white and the imaging isn't crystal clear. This, though, did not deter me from still enjoying this deeply saddening short. It not only brought you into the life of a woman battling with, as I suppose, breast cancer, but also showed how not everyone deals with things the same way. The story portrays the fearful truth of how many women battle with this terrible disease and lose themselves to the battle. I cannot put into words exactly my full thoughts on this film, but I was moved by it in many ways because of how thought provoking and truthful it was.
