I have not been this moved by a film in a long time. Brilliant! I expected an 'okay' film after seeing some of the reviews from where it came out, but I honestly loved it. So I finally watched Veronika Decides To Die. Title (Brazil): "Veronika Decide Morrer" ("Veronika Decides to Die") The cinematography and the stylish music score are very beautiful. The screenplay has great lines and discusses good points like the definition of insanity or the meaning of life. Her complex character becomes aware of the simple things that make life so wonderful only after finding the meaning of love. The dramatic "Veronika Decides to Die" is based on the best-seller of Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho and has a magnificent performance of Sarah Michelle Gellar in the role of a suicidal young woman. They feel attracted for each other and Veronika discovers the meaning of life again they escape from the institution and decide to enjoy the miracle of each new day together. Along the days, Veronika gets closer to the catatonic Edward (Jonathan Tucker), who was left in the institution many years ago. She is informed that her OD injured her heart provoking an aneurysm and she has only a few weeks of life. She fails in her intent and two weeks later she leaves the coma and awakes in a psychiatric institution directed by the unorthodox Dr. However, the feeling of emptiness of her pessimist view of life leads her to commit suicide with an overdose of pills. In New York, the middle-class Veronika Deklava (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a twenty and something year-old beautiful woman with a good job and a nice apartment.
