This film was incredibly moving without being self-indulgent or sentimental. It's one of the few films I've ever seen that deals with death on such a deep and personal level. A topic many of us have a difficult time with. The filmmaker did not shy away from showing us all the facets of watching a loved one die. The pain of seeing someone become a completely different person, the tragedy of watching their body deteriorate and the loss of regular communication. The filmmaker's family was exceptional and his mother was truly heroic and very human. While I cried through most of this film I did not feel manipulated. I was able to tap into my own experiences with death and in some ways gain a better understanding of them. Highly recommended.
