Mike McCahill Guardian These 75 minutes keep raising questions the directors don't have the time, distance or editorial rigour to answer satisfactorily. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2018 Full Review Charlotte Harrison VultureHound The documentary doesn't answer the questions about the nature of grief, it would be impossible for it to do so. Instead it muses upon them, offering personal accounts to help us draw our own conclusions. We grieve because we love. Rated: 4/5 Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Ross Miller The National (Scotland) Heartfelt and cathartic documentary that feels as deeply personal to the subjects as it does universal. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Andy Lea Daily Express (UK) The challenge of grieving in the digital age is perhaps the unintended focus of this touching and deeply personal documentary from Jane Harris and Jimmy Edmonds. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
