[Whose Life Is It Anyway?] is an engrossing drama despite its grim subject.

The inadequately and misleadingly titled Whose Life Is It Anyway? is a brilliant emotional exercise which ambitiously and heroically wrestles with the most emotional issue of all -- death.

Who's Life is one of the year's best films, not to be missed.

Dreyfuss never seems to get far enough into his character to make his anguish -- or his decision to fight -- real.
