Deadline report on Camden international film festival
“It’s not easy to make any film, let alone a personal one about family, loss and love,” noted the jury comprised of Nesa Azimi, Carlos A. Gutiérrez, and Keith Wilson. “With transparency and courage, this is a film that portrays the messiness of life, the inevitability of death, and does it with grace, humor and tenderness.”Hammer to Nail report on Camden Internation Film Festival
“Taking some rather shocking and incredibly painful twists and turns along the way, the doc unfolds like a mystery powered by a surprising amount of empathy, compassion and moments of joy…. Salvation, however, can sometimes come in letting go of the need to understand, and in simply placing unconditional love in the center of the frame. "I can’t stop thinking about this film! Wow! ❤️"
"I almost cried but then the movie emotionally whiplashed me for the millionth time"
