2009 · 1h 49m · Drama

IMDb 7.3 Metacritic 51 RT 47%

Skip it—this Jodi Picoult adaptation swings for emotional gut-punches but lands as melodramatic and manipulative, turning a genuinely complex ethical dilemma into courtroom clichés and predictable family trauma. If you want thoughtful drama about moral ambiguity, look elsewhere.

Plot

Sara and Brian live an idyllic life with their young son and daughter. But their family is rocked by sudden, heartbreaking news that forces them to make a difficult and unorthodox choice in order to save their baby girl's life. The parents' desperate decision raises both ethical and moral questions and rips away at the foundation of their relationship. Their actions ultimately set off a court case that threatens to tear the family apart, while revealing surprising truths that challenge everyone's perceptions of love and loyalty and give new meaning to the definition of healing.
