Our culture doesn’t have much patience for this kind of struggle, or this kind of truth.

How should Marguerite balance caring for herself with caring for Marie? How much should Marie be told about what LVKDSSHQLQJ"7KH¿UVWLQVWLQFWVRI both Marguerite and her advisors DUHWRSXW0DUJXHULWH¶VKHDOWK¿UVW and spare Marie the details, un- derstandable choices that damage both women. Marie’s unchained soul -- which might have lived its life in prison if not for Marguerite -- now guides them both toward what is deeply true, that a good death for Marguerite must honor the connection that binds them. 7RFDOOWKLV¿OPDFOLFKpGWHDU- jerker, as did the New York Times, is to miss its resonant truth by a PLOH ,WV ¿QDO VFHQH LQ ZKLFK Marie beautifully communicates (!) to the departed Marguerite, and to us, shows just how alert her soul now is, and brings tears more well-earned than just about anything Hollywood has ever pro- duced. Perhaps in order to appre- ciate that scene, it helps to have attempted an impossible thing, or to have lost a person whose im- pact on one’s life cannot ever be expressed, but to whom one owes the ability to express what one can.
