My husband and I saw it, and both of us admitted afterwards that we were not emotionally ready. We spent the rest of the evening very subdued. Overall, though, I felt like it was a decent movie, and yes, it does give us hope!
I saw EM this weekend with another mom of a mito kiddo. It was a tear jerker for sure!
I know it doesn't have good reviews but it was inspirational and makes me hope for a cure for us soon!
