I Want to Die at Home (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

This is a remarkable portrayal of loyalty and love. Divorced and living apart from her grown children, Elizabeth discovered she had an incurable cancer. Her strongest wish was to die in the familiar surroundings of home, close to the people she loved. Loyal friends and family shared in her care and steadfastly kept her company throughout this critical period. They alternated shifts so that she would never be without a comforter. Elizabeth s choice to die at home helped mitigate the pain of her untimely death for her survivors. They gave Elizabeth the gift of time and love when she needed it most.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
