Review of Dying Young

Dying Young (1991)
6/10
Never outstanding, yet it works well

Warning: Spoilers
A movie that is most definitely not all it is reported to be, but "Dying Young" is still a moving film that depicts the destructive disease of cancer quite well.

Julia Roberts returns to good form in her role of an untrained aide for the terminally ill Campbell Scott, who gives a fine and most convincing performance. The plot is predictable, yes, but it remains a very well balanced drama throughout, a credit to the film's director Joel Schumacher.

Perhaps only a must see for sentimentalists and Roberts fans, "Dying Young" turns out to be quite a good film.
