It's My Party (1996)
9/10
Very difficult to watch. Excellent.

Please keep in mind that this is based on actual events...if you rent this, do yourself a favor and re-watch some scenes with the commentary turned ON. This is not "Hollywood" at its best or its worst, as some have said. Hollywood did not invent this story. Some of the drama was added for effect (some of the conflict, for example), but the events were based on the life (end of life) of Harry Stein. It is difficult to watch because of all of the conflicting emotions; the agonizing effort of the characters trying to be uplifting and funny in the face of devastation. It's was difficult for me because I know people in similar situations, so much of it was very realistic to me.
