Art Therapy: The Movie

ART THERAPY: THE MOVIE is a joyous cinematic exploration of art's capacity to heal and transform lives. As someone who frequently watch and enjoys documentaries, I appreciated the beautiful cinematography and editing in the film. The movie is set across many geographic settings around the world and ART THERAPY captured the beauty and often bleakness of these areas. More impressive, is the film's ability to tell the intimate stories of both the patient and therapists without being too invasive and exploitative. The story of the cancer patients was especially moving and personal. The therapists provided the audience an idea of the passion and dedication (blood, sweat, and tears) needed to be a part of this field. It restores my faith in humanity! My gauge of a good documentary is how much I can learn without feeling like I'm being lectured. In other word, I want to enjoy learning while being entertained. ha! This film did that and more. I still find myself thinking about parts of the film well after watching it.
