Molly

Molly (1999), a US comedy-drama directed by John Duigan, is available to watch online on iFILM. Elisabeth Shue plays Molly, a 28-year-old autistic woman who has spent her life in an institution since her parents died. When the facility closes due to budget cuts, her older brother Buck — Aaron Eckhart — is forced to take her in.

Buck's life runs on routines and quiet evenings. Molly dismantles both within hours: uninhibited, restlessly curious, and genuinely unaware of social rules Buck considers obvious. Jill Hennessy and Lucy Liu co-star. Then doctors offer an experimental brain surgery that could change Molly completely — and the film shifts register.

Duigan refuses the easy answer: whether Buck should put his sister through the operation stays genuinely hard, and the film lets both choices carry a cost. Stream Molly (1999) online on iFILM.
