Oh my God! Sarah was AMAZING! After watching this I now have a whole new level of respect and admiration for Sarah, she was really brave doing some of those really intense, emotional and nude scenes, her performance in this just proofs how great an actor she really is, and how she can make you laugh out loud as Elliot on scrubs, or make you sad, cry and still laugh in a drama. Sarah truly gave an Emmy worthy performance in the movie, and if she doesn't at least get nominated I'll be shocked. I think that this is some of Sarah's best ever work! I'm very proud of how well, brilliant, smart, and spectacular her acting was, and now people will see her as more than just Elliot from scrubs. She gave a truly breathtaking performance and made me see a new side to her, a strong and brave side, and many times in the movie she didn't have to say anything, her face and expressions told the story, she really captured struggling and heartbreaking perfectly. It hurt me a little whenever I saw Sarah in such emotional and physical pain in some scenes, but her acting got me though it. I believe that she succeed in showing the hope, fear, and courage that the real Geralyn Lucas had, and now women will be able to watch this film and have hope and find something to give them courage, like the red lipstick did for her. Plus I really like how Sarah said and did things in the movie that reminded me of her as Elliot, like her purple, red and blue bras, her snorts, her crazy neurotic outbursts, when she called herself "lop-sided", and most of all "Barbie", and when she told her husband things about herself in a cab before she went to get her pictures taken, but what I also liked was that she also said and did things that Elliot would never do, it just shows how mature she can be. I think this was Sarah's first big lead role, and I hope we see more of her in films were she's the lead. Because of this film, I'm going to donate money for breast cancer research when ever I can. Sarah has really grown up as an actress and the way she's matured and improved as an actor and a person is extraordinary, and I can't wait for what she gives us next. I really liked this movie, Sarah truly deserves an Emmy for this, and I believe she gave us a good and wonderful message that we are not alone and that there's always hope. And I loved the ending when she felt like she won the fight of her life and made something like a scar into a thing of beauty, that almost made me cry--almost. Bravo Sarah and God bless. PS: If you haven't seen the movie, you should.
