Dying is hell, at least for Alvin, a terminally ill widower confined to his hospice bed with nothing to chew on but bitter memories. The wonderfully irascible Alvin, unforgettably portrayed by the great Seymour Cassel, correspondingly makes life hell for everyone else around him, as renowned actor-turned-director LeVar Burton explores the age-old quandary of how we greet our final days—and who will be there with us at the end. A stirring, life-affirming drama, the excellent ensemble cast includes Alfre Woodard (MVFF 2008 Tributee), Adrienne Barbeau, Johnny Whitworth and Lacey Chabert in beautifully crafted performances refreshingly free of false sentimentality. The world observed from his hospice bed provides the final proving ground where Alvin learns to make the most of the time he has, and discover the love he never knew was so close at hand. —Jeff Campbell
