I'm sorry to hear about your wife. With what you've been through, you would be more qualified than anyone to evaluate the "reality" of this movie. I imagine not only will it be emotional to watch this particular story unfold, but if it's not done well it could come off as insulting to what you've gone through. But, it sounds like you're looking forward to it (right?), perhaps even to serve as a bit of catharsis from the storyteller your wife admired so much. It's good to hear you keep an open mind, and your story could well teach a lesson to those critics (who would listen) that telling a personal story can be better than striving for originality or irreverence.
I hope you stop in after you see it, and tell us what you thought.
