Dance Me to My Song Movie Review 1998

Very difficult movie to watch provides its own rewards thanks to the skills of filmmaker de Heer and lead Rose. Julia (Rose) suffers from severe cerebral palsy, is wheelchair-bound, and can only speak through a voice synthesizer. Although she lives alone, she is dependent on the daily caregivers supplied by the health department. Her latest is the short-tempered Madelaine (Kennedy), who is neglectful and ill-suited to her demanding work. What makes the situation more difficult is Julia's amible friend Eddie (Brumpton), whom Madelaine jealously decides is the ideal man.
