Take My Hand (out Aug 22) is an Australian romantic drama loosely inspired by the life of the film's two creators. It stars Radha Mitchell as a middle-aged woman adjusting her life after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The dialogue is stiff, the tone is confusing, and the pace is messy... but it's still a well-intentioned eye-opener about MS impacts people and those around them. Grade: B-.
