A fatally ill mother with only two months to live creates a list of things she wants to do before she dies without telling her family of her illness.
Acting
Polley's face does what scripts can't: the lie of okay.
Direction
Coixet lets silences scream. No funeral scene manipulation.
Writing
The list: mundane, profound, devastatingly specific.
Director
Isabel Coixet
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Nanci Kincaid's short story 'Pretending the Bed Is a Raft'—Coixet discovered it in a Barcelona airport and optioned it immediately.
Leonor Watling plays 'Neighbor Ann' as a mirror-self: what Ann might have been without early marriage and motherhood. Their scenes together are ghost conversations.
