This movie is slow moving and exceptionally dark. Highly predictable plot line-nothing new here. You can predict the storyline after the first 10 minutes. They had a solid cast but they are wasted on a bad script. It's sort of a "Dead Poet's Society" meets "The Bucket List." I thought this movie was depressing and a waste of money. If you are into watching movies about dysfunctional families you might like it, but it's just not a good movie. At least it's got some long shots that are the beautiful New Zealand countryside. How many more movies do we need about dying people who treat people badly?
