Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Lifetime's first original anthology film, and Jennifer Aniston's directorial debut—she also executive produced through her company Echo Films.
Released during peak pinkwashing era, it was rare for 2011 TV to show breast cancer's ugly realities—mastectomy grief, sexual identity struggles, and family collapse—rather than inspirational survivor stories.

Just watching an interview Steve Perry did with Dan Rather & he spoke about this movie. Steve Perry said his friend, Patty Jenkins was making this movie when he saw, Kelly Nash. Kelly became Steve's gf, who sadly lost her battle but she made Steve promise to not stay in isolation from life. Rest in peace, Kelly & thank you for making sure Steve continues to give us beautiful music

I’ve seen this movie. It’s very emotionally charged and touches the heart. Two days ago, I thought I had breast cancer. It was one of the scariest days in my life. They found an abnormality on my left breast, and I was waiting for the doctor to tell me if it was cancerous or not. Fortunately he gave me good news, but for awhile I had my doubts. This movie is a must watch for sure! God bless those who fight cancer. My prayers go out to you all.❤️

Just watched this movie on Amazon prime. Wow, it's really touching. All the five stories are made very respectful towards the women. I liked the second film with Patricia Clarkson and Tony Shalhoub, because it gives you courage and strength in a seemingly hopeless situation. (Reality is cruel enough.) Mia starts a new life with a new love - wonderful. 💖 💖 💖
