Q then sucker-punched me with film about woman dying of cancer (even though said woman was Toni Collette, befriended by the unrecognisable Drew Barrymore. I thought Toni was much older but it turned out she was 45 to Drew's 42). With Dominic Cooper, Paddy Considine and Jacqueline Bisset as the mother.
Shifts in mood somewhat - thus birth scene feels a little Richard Curtisy - though doesn't drown in itself. Morwenna Banks wrote it, handling the responses of the kids pretty authentically. (We happened to hear her on the radio the day after and she was talking about how cancer had hit some of the people she knew in their thirties and how this 'bomb' affected their lives.)
Elliot Davis shot it. Hardwicke directed Thirteen in 2003, Twilight in '08 and a dark Red Riding Hood in 2011 with Amanda Egg.
