Episode 170: The BSA's of "Away from Her" (2006)

Sarah Polley continues to wow us this week with her feature film debut as writer and director, 2006’s “Away From Her.” Much like “Women Talking,” it’s no easy breezy airplane movie, but sometimes you just want to be a little devastated. Oscar nominated Julie Christie glows as Fiona, whose developing Alzheimer’s renders her husband Grant a stranger and sends her into the arms of Worst Supporting Aubrey. Grant finds tough love from Nurse Kristy and a trauma bond with Aubrey’s wife, podcast alum Olympia Dukakis. Plus: the mom from The Good Son, Flo taking her tea for a walk, face journeys, cigarette acting, and a particularly ugly baby.
