This is a tasteful, uplifting story about euthanasia, and about pure love. As a movie, it's a mystery. We see two lovers frolicking, having all sorts of fun with games and balloons, very festive. But they occasionally say odd things to each other signaling something they know will eventually happen that we can only guess at. As a message, the movie makes its case for assisted suicide, and for a true friendship that requires a partner to help his beloved friend gently, painlessly leave this veil of tears. The movie succeeds brilliantly at both genres. One proof of a good story is that it leaves you wanting more. You will come to liking these two people and wish could spend more time with them. And the "takeaway" is that will ask yourself if you have a friend who would do this much for you, and if you have a friend for whom you would do this much.

Okay, wow. First of all, I didn't gather that she was sick until I read reviews and comments where people mention it. She didn't look sick to me. It's never acknowledged that she was sick. And for all we know, maybe she wasn't sick. Maybe just suicidal. Maybe this is meant to be a futuristic dystopian depiction where suicide is accepted, and hence there are laws permitting it. But this was still assisted suicide. I don't even know whether to commend or hate her husband for encouraging this. And then weird camera dude standing there emotionless and unphased. Like I'm gonna be honest, this was some of the most depressing stuff I've ever seen. The melancholy by the end is uncanny. I'm not one to be triggered by things I see on the internet (usually I'm the one triggering people tbh), and while this took me by surprise, I do have to admire the pensive acting and emotion that went into this. Aside from desponding, this was actually quite beautiful, but I just can't find it in myself to condone it. Saddening, tragic, depraved, evil, beautiful, I can't put a word on this, I just know in my core this was really really wrong, but objectively I still have to give it credit. I mean I'm not really one to judge this stuff. The movie Titanic took something tragic and saddening, and profited off of making it a very beautiful story. Still though there has to be a line. Ugh my head is spinning, I think I just need to process this. This was very wrong, but in a really messed up way, it's the best Omeleto video I've ever seen. In a sense of depth and emotion, I'd compare this to the aforementioned Titanic which is the third highest grossing film in history. There are just too many factors to weigh in here.

I did not read any previous reviews but I knew what it was about and it broke my heart. The interaction between the two main characters were so enduring and so loving but realizing what's going to happen next was absolutely heartbreaking. This could be a real thing and if it was me, I would want that option to be available to me. Overall this video was excellently written and totally believable.

Not comfortable to define it. For the chain of suppositions and for the feeling to see an easy film for a large part of it. For the fake impression to know the story. You do not. For the twist. Decent is to define it as a beautiful film for acting, for story, for embroidery of emotions. But is it a fair word in this case ? Maybe not because it is the film of an option. Not easy to understand it or to accept it but giving, in admirable way, the sense , a noble one, to entire drama.
