Field looks appropriately wiped out. Although given how brittle, awkward, and completely uninteresting her younger co stars are, she could just be exasperated -- she's doing all the lifting.

You will have to like Sally Field, you will have to really like Sally Field, to sit through Two Weeks.

The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.

There is much to like in this poignant movie about those who leave this life and those left behind, but Two Weeks never quite pulls everything off.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
