Review

Julia Roth (Andie MacDowell) is an older Hollywood actress struggling to make a 'comeback'. She also has colon cancer. She is getting chemotherapy at a clinic outside of London to hide from the public. She is angry to have three roommates during treatment. Mikey (Sally Phillips) is a party girl and troubled mom. Judy (Miriam Margolyes) is a chemo veteran expecting good news. Imaan (Rakhee Thakrar) is a Muslim mother. Nancy (Tamsin Greig) is Julia's fixer manager.

This starts off poorly with a stereotypical clueless entitled Hollywood actress. Andie MacDowell should ask herself if she could ever be this character in real life. Everybody knows what stage 4 means. I get the writing premise of making Julia the worst version of herself so that she can grow. It's not the best part of the movie. The best part is simply four regular women talking about their lives. The movie gets there eventually, but they keep going back to overblown writing. I don't need a baby who survived the holocaust. This movie has its problem. When it's right, it has its heart in the right place.
