http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/12/TWO-WEEKS-Two-Good-Two-Miss.aspx There’s a very good chance you didn’t see TWO WEEKS during its brief theatrical run.  Hell, there’s probably a very good chance you never even heard of TWO WEEKS.  It was doomed for commercial failure from the outset, a stupid idea for a movie: Let’s watch a woman die. Not surprising to anyone except the folks who pumped money into it, TWO WEEKS earned a paltry $46,600 during its entire release a few months ago, probably less than the cost of developing the negatives.  Yet it is one of the most remarkable movies of the year –one that is unwavering in its honesty and unsparing in its depiction of a terrible, terrible subject.  It is brilliantly acted by a gifted ensemble. And it comes exceedingly close to being a superb film. Anita Bergman (Sally Field) is diagnosed with colon cancer.  When she asks her oncologist what will happen to her he tells her “my intestines will clog up and I will puke myself to death.” So she fired him.  “I figured at $275 a visit I deserve a better bedside manner.”  So she cans him. Clearly Anita is not going quietly into the night.  She’s a tough broad who reminded me of the cowboys I used to watch on TV when I was younger.  I’m sure you know the ones I mean.  The kind that required only a shot a whiskey before they let the town barber dig a bullet out of their shoulders.  She has four children, three boys and a girl, is divorced and remarried and though its never clear, is probably in her late 50s or early 60s. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/12/TWO-WEEKS-Two-Good-Two-Miss.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/12/TWO-WEEKS-Two-Good-Two-Miss.aspx#1589 I rented this movie just because of Sally Field and it was well worth it, the cast worked very well together, you could really believe they were a family. The story line was very good, this is definitely a must see.
