4.5/5

Heartbreaking and enraging. Checkoway's approach is intimate, giving space for emotions such as rage and grief and loneliness to play out in a way that brings us inside the pain.

Edith + Eddie is tricky to get through, but it's as engrossing as it is heartbreaking.

Amazing short documentary. We must do better by our seniors. They still have a voice and rights should still be respected. It was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.
