When her mother makes a shocking request, sheltered Ava struggles with reality, escaping into a dream world where she summons up old friends and long forgotten desires.

“Regardless of any other issues, this movie lacks quality in both acting and story presentation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChloe Farnworth has to give a performance filled with various strong emotions and most of the time the performance does not ring true; it does not seem real.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause of the dream sequence, some of the details of the plot are unnecessarily confusing. The dream sequence could have been fanciful and enjoyable, but it is mostly spent in various disagreements. The sequence includes some characters who correspond to real life, and some who are creations of Avau0026#39;s imagination, for example Depression, Denial, and Acceptance. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a strong subplot regarding relations between semi-estranged sisters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have two parental warnings: 1) There is a scene over 5 minutes long of two women shown topless and they are kissing and being passionate with one another. They are explicitly revealed above the waist. One of the women is obviously pregnant in this scene. I am leaving out a lot of detail about this scene for decencyu0026#39;s sake.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2) Much of the movie is about a disagreement between Ava and her mom about her mom ending her life. Her mom has Huntingtonu0026#39;s which is extremely debilitating and she is already suffering severe loss of function. Ava does a poor job presenting any reasoned case against it so the movie leaves us with a lopsided view of a controversial topic.”
