Tonight on Lifetime at 9p Five stories of breast cancer are intertwined in this touching movie that will make you cry. Three of the Five shorts are directed by A-List name Alicia Keys, Demi Moore and Jennifer Aniston and they will wow you from behind the camera.
The first story directed by Demi Moore is about a young girl in 1969 not understanding why her family won’t let her see her mom and suddenly so secret around her.
The next story directed by Jennifer Aniston (is my least favorite) and is about a woman who beat breast cancer and goes back in time until we see her finding out about her diagnosis.
The third directed by Penelope Spheeris is the most powerful one as it tells the story of a stripper diagnosed with breast cancer and will need a full mastectomy to survive. It is something she doesn’t want to do as her husband begs her to. What will she do?
The fourth one directed by Alicia Keys is my favorite, it will have you laughing as crying as Rosario Dawson as a independent workaholic who tries to conceal her diagnosis from her mom. When her sister spills the beans, now Rosario has to do all she can not to get her family to go with her for the surgery.
The final tale, is that one that ties the five stories together and that is all I will say about this one. That and it will be the one that has you finish up your tissue box.
Five is a must watch because everyone at some point in their life will be affected by breast cancer, so watch a movie with Five strangers going through it.
