Being Rose (2017)

Looking through the films on Prime Video last night, I came across this one from 2017. Susan likes shows about cowboys, so it could be good for both of us, I thought. I was wrong. It was hard work.

Cybill Shepherd is one determined lady, Being Rose: she went on a road trip like no other, mostly on her canopied wheelchair. Along the way, she meets Max, and they strike up a friendship, of sorts. But the story takes on a fatal hue, which was telegraphed from the opening scenes of Rose having a brain scan.

There are very few times that Cybill’s character smiles. That’s hard to watch, because I remember her beauty from her earliest films. It was a shock to realize that she was born only 9 days after me in 1950.

Bless.
