The flashbacks and interludes are incoherent, and good themes are filmed as Hollywood assembly lines.

The score of this film is so high, I personally think that most of it comes from the emotional score of the subject matter. The film itself is not worth this score in terms of shooting, narration, and editing. Flashbacks and interludes are incoherent and make the story seem fragmented. Obviously it is a subject with great room to play, but it has been turned into a Hollywood assembly line operation. The first half of the film has the hazy effect of the American youth film, which does not match the theme of the film's story. This novel should be made even better!

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I'll never understand why Kate had to die and we all got to live. There's no reason for it, I guess. Death's just death, nobody understands it. Once upon a time, I thought I was put on Earth to save me sister. And in the end, I couldn't do it. I realize now, that wasn't the point. The point was I had a sister. She was fantastic. One day I'm sure I'll see her again. But until then, our relationship continues.

Aunt Kelly: I know it's important for you to feel like you never gave up. I mean, who are you if you're not this crazy bitch mother fighting for her kid's life, right? But there's, like, a whole world out there. You don't see any of it. Nothing. Sooner or later, you... you gotta stop. You gotta let go.
Sara Fitzgerald: ...I can't.
