SHORT SYNOPSIS: A filmmaker sets out to investigate the devastating migraine attacks that have her daughter in their grip. As mother and daughter seek understanding and ever-elusive treatment, we follow them into a bizarre and fascinating world populated by doctors, neuroscientists, other migraineurs, and such unexpected characters as Lewis Carroll, Thomas Jefferson, and Joan Didion. We learn that, rather than a terrible headache, migraine is a complex, deeply stigmatized neurological disease afflicting nearly a billion people worldwide. This kaleidoscopic journey, told through interviews, cinema verité, art and animation, explores the history, impact and raw emotion evoked by this unpredictable and confounding condition. LONG SYNOPSIS: When a filmmaker investigates the devastating migraine attacks which have her daughter in their grip, she discovers migraine is not just the terrible headache she always thought it to be, but a mysterious neurological disease afflicting nearly a billion people worldwide. She decides to make a film and trace the journey, as mother and daughter seek understanding and ever-elusive treatment.

  • Produzenten Michael Cerenzie, Ursacht Jedoch Eine Kette Von Schrecklichen Ereignissen
    „MAY YOU BE IN HEAVEN HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU‘RE DEAD.“ „Mögest Du eine halbe Stunde im Himmel sein, bevor der Teufel merkt, dass Du tot bist.“ (Irischer Trinkspruch) Sidney Lumets „Tödliche Entscheidung“ ist ein so großartiger Film, dass ich es fast dabei belassen wollte. Und damit zu schreiben aufhöre und Ihnen nur empfehle, sich den Film so schnell wie möglich anzusehen. Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert) In seiner unbarmherzigen und kompromisslosen Bosheit, […], seiner ernsthaften Auseinandersetzung mit der Idee des Bösen und der Sünde und schließlich in der Art, wie er sich zu einer moderner Familientragödie entwickelt, hat der Film eine besondere Klasse. The Guardian Ein Beweis, dass Sidney Lumets Können in jeder Hinsicht zeitlos ist. Entertainment Weekly Mr. Lumet hat nichts vergessen und weiß immer noch mehr als nahezu jeder andere über die schwere Kunst, Schauspieler zu führen. Wall Street Journal Dieser Film ist schnell und grausam, [Lumets] schärfster und bester seit „Prince of the City“ – und sicherlich einer der besten Filme dieses Jahres. New York Post In einer Reihe von thematisch düsteren Filmen könnte dieser der düsterste sein. Er ist ganz sicher einer der besten. New York Daily News Sidney Lumet macht seinen besten Film seit langer Zeit, ein exzellenter Thriller, der einem die Kehle zuschnürt. Los Angeles Daily News In Zusammenarbeit mit der erstaunlich talentierten Drehbuchautorin Kelly Masterson verschmilzt Lumet schwarzen Humor, Spannung und Tragödie zu einem Film, der vor Energie vibriert. Rolling Stone Der neue Film von Sidney Lumet ist ein spannender, raffiniert erzählter Thriller, in dem zwei Brüder verzweifelt versuchen, die verheerenden Folgen eines außer Kontrolle geratenen Raubüberfalls einzudämmen.
