      Wenlei Ma News.com.au There is a beating heart to this story, and it’s powered by love. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Time Out Bittersweet viewing, particularly for anyone who has dealt with ailing relatives, Everybody’s Oma clearly traces inventive joy giving way to the ever-growing weight of extreme stress as things slowly but surely, and then much more quickly, worsen. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) This is a warm, emotional experience, plenty of happy along with the sad. It's a story of family love and resilience that will resonate with audiences. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Courageously, perhaps unintentionally, the film brings into question the value of mounting huge, emotionally taxing, materially expensive efforts for the sake of somebody who no longer has the faculties to appreciate the sacrifices being made for them. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Brendan M Everybody's Oma If you've ever had a relationship with a person who has Dementia or Alzheimers or who Cares for that person. Everything you need to know is contained, or beautifully illustrated in Everybody's Oma. If you've just started the Journey or are Grieving, this story, this example of Love and Dignity is all you need. Vrede zij met u Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/22 Full Review Maria C We are a family in the midst of a similar journey to the family that are featured in this documentary, we watched it tonight and myself, my husband and our 10 year old daughter cried, (I mean sobbed and bawled throughout) laughed and hugged each other tight. Thank you Jason and Meg for sharing your journey, this is a must watch for anyone caring for someone with dementia. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
