What is Love, Danielle about?

“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,” the synopsis reads. “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 YEEHAW-filled 70’s TV Western star father. Ultimately, Danielle must figure out how to prioritize her health and well-being by putting herself first.”

Marianna Palka directs Love, Danielle. Devin Sidell stars in the movie as Danielle, while she also co-wrote the script. The film is loosely based on Sidell’s experience with the BRCA gene mutation.

The cast of the movie also includes Jaime King as Amy, Lesley Ann Warren as Candie, Michael Roark as Pat, Barry Bostwick as Bryce, Ian Owens as Rob, Palka as Misty, Larry Clarke as Dr. Morgan, Raymond Cruz as Stan, Kim Coles as Ellen, and Kelly Jenrette as Char.
