Moments after learning she has terminal
cancer and just two months left to live, Melody Wilder also loses her job and
gets dumped by her boyfriend. This woman who spent her life denying herself so
many things decides to rent a luxurious loft and max out her credit cards
living the life before she goes. But, maybe life has other plans for her.
This film is a slow-paced poem with a very
compelling storyline. Unfortunately, something seemed to have gotten lost in
the delivery. In the end, what had the potential to be great is just good.
Saffron Burrows is good as Melody Wilder,
offering a very honest performance. And a woman playing guitar is something I
have always found a little sexy. The cast around Burrows, though, was bland and
did not offer much.
As for the story itself, there are a lot of
plot holes, and when we reach the end, the climax feels unsatisfying. Maybe
that was the desired effect, but it left me a little disappointed.
