All of Us
Running time: 102 mins
Life happens at the threshold of death.
Four terminally ill patients are thrown together in a self-help group run by Els, who, as timing would have it, is going through a midlife crisis. Moreover, she has no previous professional experience working as a group therapist. What starts out as a comic first meeting soon turns into a dark human drama when Phillipe announces the severity of his predicament. Cathy tries to settle her familys affairs and find a mother for her children. Outspoken Elisabeth discovers a surprising truth about herself and helps Vince cope with his failing health. Superb performances, along with observant writing and directing, result in a moving, unforgettable experience. Pratibha Kelapure
