She commented on Pugh’s post, ”My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer when I was 2, given 6 months to live. she stuck it out through 4 years of chemo and drugs and treatment to give me a chance at remembering her, and she passed when I was 6.”
She continued, “I wasn’t sure I’d be able to watch due to the direct parallels to my own trauma – I went on my day off on friday, watched it in a fully empty theater with my mom’s stuffed animal and a box of tissues, and god I’m so glad I did.”
Praising Pugh she added, “You captured every emotion my mom felt so beautifully. I only have a couple journal entries left of her, so god, Florence, your performance is such a gift.” She concluded her note with, “I was so little, so sheltered, i didn’t understand what she was experiencing. getting to witness it thru this film – i just can’t express my gratitude enough.”
