Actual Rating 8.5/10*

I definitely think that this movie is one that improves in its latter half but still isn't perfect. I don't know if it's just me but it feels like the parents came across quite abusive towards Anna in this movie, they didn't seem to care about what she was saying, that it was her own body and she didn't want to part with any of her organs. The parents then made it out like she was being selfish which, I understand that they are hurting because the older sister is dying of cancer, but this isn't something you should be telling your child.

Now the movie did improve in it's second half and was quite emotional, which was handled really well by all the cast members. I will admit that I am ever so slightly bitter that they changed it from the original ending where Anna is actually the one who dies as I feel like that book ending gives out more of a message whereas the ending to the film gave out an air of predictability. Having said all that though the film's subject is handled really well by all cast, including Abigail Breslin, who I was pleasantly surprised at, and it is still a halfway decent film with a very difficult subject matter.
