The film by Nick Cassavetes is more than just a story of a girl suffering from leukemia and her struggle with the disease. It is a story about each member of this family separately and together; about love, sacrifice, persistence in the pursuit of purpose and independence. At the very beginning, Annie (Abigail Breslin) tells us how she was "created". Annie was not born as a result of family planning, she was not a "slip-up" during some events, she was carefully "prepared" by doctors, so as to be an ideal donor for her older sister suffering from leukemia - Kate (Sofia Vassilieva). From the minute, the girl was subjected to various treatments to keep her sister alive. Often these treatments were very painful and risky for Anna. However, as a child, she had nothing to say. One day everything changed. Little Annie went to a lawyer and told him that she wanted to bring the proceedings to her parents. At the beginning, the lawyer - Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin), did not take her seriously, but later accepted her proposals.
The process has begun.

What you can definitely say about the parents of Anna, Kate and Jessi is that they never give up. For the sick daughter, they sacrifice everything, especially their mother - Sara (Cameron Diaz). The woman quit her job and everything she liked. Unfortunately, the parents also devoted the rest of the children, let's go Jessie not literally. It is very clearly shown when Jessie returns home too late.
He is convinced that he will get a barrier or something like that. However, when entering the house, it turns out that the parents did not even notice that he was not there. The same was when parents almost overlooked that Jessie has dyslexia. Kate feels guilty that her siblings are escaping to their parents through her illness. Nick Cassavetes is known mainly for his direction, "Pamiętnik", it was his wonderful, touching child, which everyone liked.
"Without my consent" is equally beautiful, but much more serious and definitely successful work, I would even be tempted to think that it is a better work. An interesting treatment is telling this story by different people.
It starts with Annie, and later other characters join in. This gives the delicacy and subtlety of this story. Abigail Breslin is the perfect performer of Annie's role. The girl, despite her very young age, took this very difficult role and did it masterfully.
She was very authentic here and she played the viewer's emotions.
This shows how good she is an actress. Anyway, everyone did a great job. I should also mention Sofia Vassilieva, the performer of Kate's role. I think that she did as well as her film sister. Playing a sick girl is really difficult, but she coped with it. "Without my consent" is one of the better movies I've seen. It was the first time I cried so much at the screening. The film not only moves but also induces ethical considerations. Reflecting on the behavior of Kate's mother, we must answer many questions for which there is no unambiguous answer. .
