I found this to be a very interesting movie on the different dynamics of families around us. Everyone is different, and I did not in any way, shape or form find anything disagreeable about the family. Grief takes on different meanings to everyone, and their method of grieving just happens to be doing what they do best- film making. While I didn't see this as a video that would stop any would-be suicides, I did see it as a video that enlightens people into the world of depression and suicide that aren't feeling depressed. More than informative, though, I found this to be entertaining in a deep way- deep in the way that you'd expect the parents of the teen to be. I now can say definitively that I will be better equipped to deal with depression if it ever pops up in the lives of my children or anyone around me, and I have this movie to thank. This story isn't one I'll soon forget.
This is somewhat of a tangent, but I did find myself wondering how incredibly loaded the father's side of the family was. . .
