    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 42 mins) The life-support system is disconnected from the throat. Before and after that scene, it is on, and working.

    Rather tedious
    This film tells the story of a dysfunctional family, who is reunited by the terminally ill father's decision to pull himself off life support.

    "Lullaby" is named quite the opposite of what it really is. It is a dark film with a lot of arguments and dysfunctional interactions. It is not easy to watch. The pacing is very slow, and I think the film can be a lot shorter, especially by cutting out the music scenes that are unnecessarily long. Jennifer Hudson is memorable as a nurse with attitude, I am quite unsure if nurses in the States really act like that! The ending speech by the daughter is very touching, but it is still not enough to save "Lullaby" as a tedious film.
