I don't understand the tidal wave of negative reviews on this film. In my opinion the story is quite simple.
It's a 24 hour look at a woman who (do to a medical complication) is told her life will end soon. The odds of surviving surgery are very low. So she becomes intensely aware of the life round her - something she had obviously taken lightly previously.
In other words she is absorbing into her mind many things that before had been just an nuisance in her life and she is realizing this is also part of life.
SJP does this role with perfection.
