The film does feel draggy a bit in some parts as well. The film seemingly gives an impression to the general audience that stage 4 cancer sufferers can still live and converse normally like many others without the repetitive, time-consuming treatments, countless hospitalization or dealing with severe side effects from drugs. However, I have a few gripes about the film though.I would appreciate if the film adds more scenes about their cancer sufferings, just to show that having cancer is not a joke. The eulogies written by the main leads for each other is thought-provoking and heartfelt at the same time. Rather than making it the typical depressing melodramatic tearjerker, the film has a bittersweet ending with surprising depth and meaning about life. The film doesn't overly exploit the romance drama that's usually comes with the chronic disease, which is commendable.
