I thought there were many difficult words in it, so it was really hard for me to follow and understand it all. The last 30 minutes are beautiful though, and made me forgive that fact. I also dislike Thompson, but again, I thought she was brilliant in the last 30 minutes. Truelly touching

Just thinking about it can wipe any smile out of my face. What I really like about Wit though is that it has what for me was a very valuable and sincere take on life and death, the overbearing perception of mortality and everything. Perhaps this is not very evident at first, because the story is simply heartbreaking and Emma Thompson is amazing, but I think with time it becomes more evident, maybe even recomforting. I'm really glad that I watched it.

Format geregi bi puan salladim. Yoksa açin izleyin. Film degil fazlasiyla gerçek olmus bu(?).

If it was supposed to be a play, it reached it's goal. If not, too theatrical and pretentious. Best pro-cancer speech ever heard.

Nothing special. It doesn't hide the fact that it's adapted from a play. It feels like one. Additionally, despite Nichols' best efforts, it's painfully evident that this was made for TV. The story doesn't get too weepy or saccharine but it does feel very generic and, well, sterile. Not sure how much of that can be blamed on the format. Also, I can't stand it when characters break the 4th wall, and Emma Thompson does it in every scene, making her memorable performance less affecting.

Emma Thompson was very convincing - tremendous role.

eh, it had its moments.. but the gimmicky break in the fourth wall and the claustrophobic hospital setting really made this film a miserable slow drag..

Emma Thompson must make more movies. Her performance in Wit is one of the best I have ever seen.

Wit is a good -- nay, great -- movie. But I didn't enjoy watching it even a little bit, and frankly I'd like to forget all about it as soon as possible. I don't like thinking about cancer or death unless I absolutely have to; doing so only makes me feel despondent and hopeless and it has absolutely no positive effect on my state of mind. I guess I'm a coward.

One of the most amazing performances given by an actress, period.

If you have to make a picture for the small screen, this is more or less what you should do: take a good play, hire Mike Nichols to adapt it, then just let it roll. I don't normally think of myself as a guy who likes disease movies, but everything here is too well done. A textbook example of a good small movie. Besides, Emma Thompson is so pretty, even when she's completely bald

The procedure of the medical machine drives the plot, with Thompson's character undergoing violations of the body and spirit. Her performance is impressive. The monologues of her rather cold character are warmed with clever wordplay and the glow of Thompsons presence. Bearing's ongoing stoicism forces the viewer to become an emotional surrogate. These underplayed emotions paying off nicely with isolated gestures of comfort suitably affecting. 'Keep pushin the fluids', great phrase.

A very uncomfortable watch, especially if cancer or death frequently lingers in the back of your mind. Emma Thompson's performance is intense and adds great power to the movie's story, which becomes quite emotional toward the end. A really really great movie.

A really sad story mostly filmed in a hospital. Not my type of such a depressing movie, although good acting of E. Thompson.
