What Away from Her is
A love story that’s allergic to histrionics tries hard not to outshine its own premise. Fiona, newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, checks into a care home where proximity trumps devotion, leaving Grant to relearn what it means to be forgotten. A quiet nudge for anyone who still thinks Alzheimer’s stories need operatic suffering.
