Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Though she has it all, Veronika feels she’s experienced everything life has to offer and wants to die. But when her suicide attempt fails and she wakes in a mental hospital with a diagnosis that she is still going to die but now has only a week to live, she begins to re-evaluate. I admit that I mainly watched this for Sarah Michelle Gellar. David Thewlis being in this is icing on that cake. Both do a great job, but I think Jonathan Tucker’s part in this is even better. There’s some interesting ideas presented and it feels a bit on the short side, like maybe they could have done a bit more, but it’s still a fairly satisfying ending.
