The absolute worst, best, unbelievable, most uplifting, and brilliantly devastating film that I am ever likely to see. Nothing has ever crossed my eyes that has sliced at my emotional being so deep and left me so raw, that it will stay with me forever. It was perhaps the first time I had ever been completely paralyzed by a film. Simply, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I was told to see this film with specific instructions not to read anything about it, watch a trailer or even read the summary — just to go into it blind. All I knew was that it was a documentary. I would suggest the same to you. All that I will add is, prepare yourself. It will blindside you and then pummel your emotions to a pulp. It is an experience unlike any other. The movie is Dear Zachary.
Current mood: all of the above
Currently watching: Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

I’m not sure I can handle something like that.
But it sounds amazing and very interesting!

You should see it, being an aspiring documentary filmmaker. It’s sort of your job. This is where I set the bar in terms of a perfect documentary.
I am destroyed and heartbroken right now.

Welcome to the club. But, don’t discount the perseverance of the human spirit. Those parents are beyond unbelievable in a time when anyone else would have given up all hope not to mention sanity, that it just reinforces what a spectacular son they raised. This film shows us the most utter evil and the absolute irreproachable side of humanity. It gave me hope.
