Both Boston and Bean do a great job - but the direction/ music/ simplicity of the scenes help draw the viewer into a dark world of disease and failing health.
Many of us know a disease like this is far worse than depicted but at least love and disease were central - again we know in real life it is far harder to care for a young person / a loved person.
I had never seen Boston or Bean in an emotional role (having watched only a few of their movies) but it was good to see them commit to the roles and the director helping to share the intimacy of the relationship. Perhaps more fear and despondency could have been conveyed (what was he writing, what was he not sharing, what was his writing offering others, and mostly: how was he preparing for his end and the end of their love). I think of Julianne Moore, Ralph fiennes and Stephen Rea in the "End of the Affair" as a beacon of love, demise, and death's cruelty.

Great direction, moving story
Mice
The two people in the story rent a cabin in the woods and the first thing they see is a mouse. They happen to mention that the mouse chewed through the pancake box and there was in the box. Yet, they take dishes right out of the cupboards and eat from them without washing them.
Very Good Film
Acting is great, most especially of Bean. The plot covers his path very well. I am well aware of the subject matter. I have first hand knowledge though I was not an observer. I felt connected and empathetic to the writer. His self awareness and most convincing performance brings awareness to the audience. Through his emulations I have a greater understanding. Very well done.
