ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Reno Rangan The film was inspired by the real life stories of the two women from the same timeline who had no connections, except theirs involvement with something. That means there are two sets of stories that's told one after another in parts which covered the events from nearly the three decades. So it all begins in the 1960, where two little sisters promise to each other about something, but 10 years later one of their's life changed forever when another one dies of cancer. So this is the story where the other sister begins her fight against the disease that took her family away.This is a small budget film that shot entirely within a month of time. There are lots of actresses in this, even for the small roles. I thought Helen Hunt would lead the narration, but then there were Maggie Grace, Alice Eve, Aaron Paul and others. Great dedications by all, but this was Samantha Morton's film.I did not know what this story is about when I decided to watch, but I'm pretty happy for the film. Except the material was more a documentary suitable kind, especially the story of Helen Hunt's character. Moreover feels like it is a short film with a decent story. I think it is worth a watch because of unfolding an important scientific discovery of our time. So a big yes on that perspective, but entertainment wise it is just an average. Now you can decide this on what you're seeking.7/10

stevepat99 I viewed and enjoyed this film. Samantha Morton, as Anne Parker was riveting. Helen Hunt playing Dr. Mary-Claire-King looked tired and yet offered a credible performanceSomething bothered me as I thought about the film. I had read some reviews, one in particular that talked about Dr. King 'confirming' Mary's theory. Another suggested their paths would eventually cross. The meeting of Annie and Dr. King seemed strange in its rushed, happenstance manner. Then there was Dr. King and her life's work which was totally disengaged from any personal connection to Annie. I could not recall other films running on two tracks that never actually linked-up. After all, the very title of the film connotes linkage. The two films remain firmly on their tracks never to actually link at all. Title aside, Dr. King is not decoding Annie Parker, she is decoding for all women. The rushed meeting was the fictional ''glue' since it never happened. Annie and Dr. King met one time only and that was in 2013 at the Seattle premiere of the film. Nor was Annie part of Dr. King's research group likely because they were separated by thousands of miles and hence it is said they lived totally different lives.Assuming Annie, as portrayed, was hell bent on proving her cancer's genetic connection her efforts were noble but bore no fruit. Annie's story on track #1 is solely a story of survival and her 'effort' to learn the genetic truth behind her family's curse. Annie's role is that of an awesome survivor with a 'suspicion' and quest to learn more. It was inspiring but this is not any sort of Lorenzo's Oil tale. On track #2 is Dr. King who is solely credited with discovering the cancer causing gene. During Dr. King's quest she neither met nor communicated with Annie. Yet two shining examples of human endurance and spirit. I give 9 stars to Annie's movie and 7 stars to Dr. King's movie. Two fine movies for the price of one. My hat's off to Annie who has to be the all time poster woman for cancer survival!

Vick Ravindran This film hits the mark in every aspect of production. Decoding Annie Parker has a solid foundation in its excellently crafted screenplay; weaving humor with drama, love with lust and hope with fear. Given the film's budget and subject matter, the fact that the cast is brimming with A-List talent is a welcome surprise. Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton brings Anne Parker to life with ease, giving every up and down of her character's journey a believable and endearing charm. Academy Award winner Helen Hunt elegantly owns the role of Mary Claire King with conviction and a nuanced emotional core. Aaron Paul adapts to the big screen with grace and having followed his Breaking Bad career, his portrayal of Paul clearly demonstrates his range as an actor.Those are just the leads! The supporting cast includes Maggie Grace, Rashida Jones, Alice Eve, Corey Stoll, Richard Schiff and many more all delivering strong turns thanks to strong direction by writer/director Steven Bernstein.There are so many reasons to see this film. The cause, the cast, the story - All of them are major draws. I can't wait to see it hit the big screen so I can share the experience with my friends and family!

Valerie Larsen After attending the premiere of this newly introduced movie in Boise, Idaho, I new simply by the applause at the end that it did indeed, triumph! Steven Bernstein's 6 years in the making of this film,has certainly created a rouse. A rouse of the meticulous journey that cancer can take on one's soul. He spared no details in capturing the viewpoints of the victims and the victor.The victor, Annie Parker, who was played so delicately, so raw, and ever so convincingly by Samantha Morton, was and will always be one of my favorite "stand-out" performances by an actress. She so exquisitely captured cancer's journey which can be summarized by a simple quote from George C. Scott, "The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." Being that this is the first review that I have taken time to write, I'm am very pleased, dare I say proud too, that it is for this movie. And, although it is a review with a few small paragraphs, I hope that it is enough to convince any and all that Decoding Annie Parker is truly a "Must-See!"
