When Danielle, a happily married thirty-something, tests positive for a BRCA1 gene mutation, she learns that this puts her at a very high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Thanks a lot, DNA. She now struggles with daily life, working at her bakery with her hubby Pat and hanging out with her clueless best buds on game night. Her older, smart-alecky sister Amy is already undergoing chemotherapy for a breast cancer diagnosis. Danielle now contemplates preemptively removing her "ticking time bomb" breasts and reproductive organs before cancer gets her, too. Her decision-making process involves flashbacks of her screwed up childhood with absent parents, bizarre anesthesia-induced dreams, and toxic confrontations with her recovering alcoholic mother and self-absorbed 70's TV star father. Ultimately, Danielle must figure out how to prioritize her health and well-being by putting herself first. "Love, Danielle" is the first scripted feature film to tackle the completely absurd decisions and issues faced by an individual who carries a BRCA gene mutation but has not been diagnosed with cancer. It is estimated that around 1 in 200-400 individuals worldwide carries a BRCA gene mutation.

While the film incorporates Sidell’s own surgical history, and her own scars, Love, Danielle works best when it keeps the choices Danielle needs to make as a character, either with support from friends and family or going it alone, at the forefront.

C+

This well-meaning dramedy could double as a PSA for getting tested for the BRCA gene, and that's both its primary accomplishment and its primary weakness.

Jamie king is a horrible actress she ruins every movie she is in. Her acting is lifeless and monotone and shouldn't be an actress. Literally anyone else would be better.
