Synopsis

When a teacher is left fighting for her life, her doting husband signs her up for a high-tech system that keeps her alive — but at a cost.

Reception

Critics: 78%

Critics praised the performances, with Tracee Ellis Ross's cold corporate turn singled out alongside the leads. The human-scale story about a teacher's life-support plan drew respect, but several reviewers saw the plot as predictable and the bleak ending as less affecting than intended.
