. And that is where this movie hit so close to home for my wife. A misdiagnosis of bipolar during my first stay at a mental hospital and six years later, I had basically become a lab rat for psychiatrists, giving me every pill on the market, trying the same ones over and over and over again when they ran out of new pills, telling me that maybe this time this pill will work. The silent pain and anguish Eva bears as she almost single-handedly cares for her partner. The move highlights some small changes in Lainey's personality - mild depression that Eva puts down to leaving the show. You don't want to miss this movie. We saw this film at Rochester's excellent Little Theatre.
Eva will never get a chance to watch her partner recover and move back home with her so they can carry on with their lives. I was slowly losing my mind and my memories, and the only person in the world who was helping me deal with all of this and taking care of me, all the while trying to hold down a full-time job to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table, where she worked in a lab trying to help cancer patients survive their disease, was my wife. We appear to have reached a point where--at least in some situations--being lesbian is not considered an obstacle to acceptance. These actors have a natural chemistry that just flows so easily when they are together, so it is very easy to see them as a couple, because they seem so natural as one. Seek it out and watch it.
What inspirations did you draw on to be that emotionally vulnerable and to deal with topics that partners or spouses hope that they never have to deal with? So what do you do when you and your partner are just hitting middle age and thought you had years and years left together, but instead you only have a very limited amount of time? That would be my guess. The two women are deeply in love. Usually a parent situation, but yeah, that dynamic in a relationship changes most definitely. I can recover from this and move on with a fully active and happy life. A Million Happy Nows chronicles Lainey and Eva's changing relationship as they struggle to deal with the diagnosis of Lainey's Early Onset Alzheimer's, the prospect of an indomitable woman's future of dependence and her single support system - the woman who was once in awe of her, became everything to her, and will now look after her. That should always be there.
I could have eventually ended up in an assisted living facility where my wife would have come to visit me. Hey Jessica, my wife agrees, caramel apples are way better than candy apples. We learn her diagnosis very early in the movie. So, I was able to push my depression aside while I helped my wife get her life back on track, and then as soon as she did, I guess it was my turn to fall apart, and fall apart I did, in the most monumentous fashion. I'm a lesbian and lifelong movie buff now living the dream I had since I was 4 years old to one day write about movies. Jessica — You did it really well, Crystal.
Coupled with finding it harder to retain her lines, she decides not to renew her contract, and she and her publicist and partner, Eva Morales Leccia , move to a beach house overlooking the ocean on the Central California coast. I have been in and out of mental healthcare facilities, and my wife has been to these lovely places to visit me, and we were particularly struck in the film with the honesty of the stupidity and deplorable conditions some of these places provide when Lainey and Eva are looking for a place for Lainey to eventually live, because patients with diseases of the brain are often treated as idiots or children or criminals, the images we saw in the film were very representative of real life and helped bring to life how…well, basically fucked up our healthcare system is. But when Lainey starts to forget more than can be attributed to stress, Eva insists on a visit to the doctor. She is becoming ever increasingly agitated and frustrated at every little thing. Without commercial breaks, the full movie A Million Happy Nows has a duration of 100 minutes; the official trailer can be streamed on the Internet. Coupled with finding it harder to retain her lines, she decides not to renew her contract, and she and her publicist and partner, Eva Morales Leccia , move to a beach house overlooking the ocean on the Central California coast.
And I get to write about queer-themed movies, so the dream is even better than I imagined. Yes, it was a lesbian couple, but it was still a couple. So, Lainey just up and quits her job of 20 years and moves with her partner, Eva Jessica Leccia, who has this eerie way in the movie of reminding me a lot of my wife , to a house by the ocean and away from it all.

Jessica Leccia portrays Lainey's partner, Eva Morales. She has been a caretaker for me for several years, doing it basically single-handedly, as I fell apart. So we just sort of kept moving it forward. But when Lainey starts to forget more than can be attributed to stress, Eva insists on a visit to the doctor. We talked for a long time after the movie was over about how that could have been us and it was us for many years, but thank God we survived it and are actually moving forward despite it. Lainey and Eva have a problem, but it's not because they're lesbians.
During the final scene when Eva visits Lainey in the assisted living facility they were able to find after coming across some pretty crappy ones that reminded me way too much of the mental hospitals that I have stayed in and why are people who have a disease of the brain treated so horribly and rendered to such deplorable conditions? My wife was telling me that one of the hardest things dealing with a person suffering memory loss and emotional disturbances is the chaotic nature of their lives, where one minute they are in one mood and the next they are turned upside down. Starring — Crystal Chappell, Jessica Leccia, Hillary B. But when Lainey starts to forget more than can be attributed to stress, Eva insists on a visit to the doctor. But I went around for years dealing with it all by myself. I was very familiar with the subject matter of A Million Happy Nows because I had been following the film for several years, waiting for it to finally be available in America, and that waiting paid off because I ended up being sent the movie to review instead of having to rent it, so free movies are the best perks to being a movie critic on top of it being a movie that was definitely worth the wait. I thought it tied for best lesbian film with Princess Cyd, another wonderful film.
