You’ll likely connect with this if you want a raw, uplifting documentary about love, illness, and perspective, similar in spirit to Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story; Not for you if cancer stories feel too painful or overwhelming.
Pros: deeply moving and honest; inspiring message about presence; intimate family moments | Cons: very heavy subject matter; can feel intrusive at times; limited outside perspectives
