Bruce Joel Rubin's 1993 flick 'My Life' is one of those films, that remain underrated for unknown reasons and how! I wasn't aware of 'My Life', despite being a hardcore fan of Michael Keaton & Nicole Kidman. I checked their filmographies and I clicked on the main page, and I was moved by it's storyline. 'My Life' is undoubtedly, one of the best films I've ever watched in recent times.The Writer-Director knows what he wants to make, he knows his intentions. He succeeds in all departments, this film makes you realize 'That Every Moment Of Your Life Is To Be Counted & Remembered'. A beautiful film on a man's last days.Keaton is astonishing, watch him in the scene when his family arrives to see him in L.A. for the first time. You'll get moved. Kidman is fantastic. The helplessness of losing her husband is always visible in her eyes, which make your eyes hurt real bad. It's one of her career's best works in my opinion.on the whole 'My Life' is a must watch. Two Thumbs Up!

My daughter gave me the DVD a few years ago. It took me a while before I got around to watching it, because I had never heard of it. It was like being hit by a truck. I don't think I've ever watched another movie that makes me sob out loud, or had a bigger lump in my throat. It is one of the most heartbreaking films I have ever seen. Just watched it again tonight, and fell apart. I can only watch it maybe once a year, because it devastates me so much. I cannot understand how Michael Keaton's performance was overlooked. He tore my heart out. Needless to say, I cherish this movie. I'm glad my daughter gave it to me, because I think she probably couldn't bear the anguish and pain of watching it more than once. Regardless of the way it affects me, I will keep it in my DVD/video library. I admire Michael Keaton's performance in this movie. He was so very believable. It's a keeper.

This movie just blew me away. It was such an incredible life-comparison film. It guided you to the core of a deep relationship between a man and a woman who are going through a difficult family crisis. I for one can compare my life to this film, i've been through a a very difficult time where i was losing both my grandparents and it's very, very hard to deal with.I think, in some cases, it's difficult to make an emotional tragedy film (along with other genres too, of course), and i'm very proud of the actors, writers, producers, and every single person involved in "My Life" because they couldn't have made it any greater than it already is.This film instantly delivers you into its atmosphere and shows you reality. Life isn't fair, and we all have to live it that way. Many individuals take advantage of life, but you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.Bob Jones: "Dying's a really hard way to learn about life".My personal opinion of what i think this quote means is that dying shows you how great and brutal life can be and it should be an honor that you have had the chance of experiencing it, even though death is frightening.

This movie is written so well! Every time I watch it, it makes me become more introspective. I will take stock of my own life, and re-appreciate the people around me. The movie also exposes the personal pain that we carry through our own life, thus calling me to forgive.I believe the father - son relationship in the film is wonderful. Hell, the whole family dynamic used to portray personal baggage is perfectly relatable.The movie is a real tear jerker for me. I do not weep during films ... this one I do. STILL.The only pan I have is a slight one. I am not a Nicole Kiddman fan. Her emotional range is typical hers .... Weak. A stronger actress, would have put this film in the box of Kleenex hall of fame!
