"Dick Johnson Is Dead" is a Documentary in which we watch a daughter preparing her father for his death. She tries to help him through some different actions because he starts having signs of dementia.
I did not have high expectations from this documentary because I was not sure what I was exactly about to watch. The direction which was made by Kirsten Johnson was good and she presented very well the portrait of her father, his history and love was present through the whole duration of the film. She also presented very well her family and the importance of her father and at the same time the difficulties that has to overcome. Dick Johnson followed her guidance through the whole duration of the documentary and seemed to enjoy every moment of it. Lastly, I have to say that "Dick Johnson Is Dead" is a different documentary but unique for this family.
