DMR R This documentary is an honest and fantastic eye-opener into frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Susan and her family's courage and strength in sharing this information with everyone are genuinely inspiring. It's a raw, essential watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Susan L Such an emotional documentary about Susan and about how it not only is a devastating disease for her but for her children and grand children! I both laughed and cried. I absolutely loved that she did books for each of her family members for them to cherish forever! It is definitely worth the time to watch and hopefully will bring awareness to the struggles of both health and mental struggles the disease causes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Trina B What an amazingly put together documentary over Susan’s life with FTD. It was real, it was raw, it was emotionally touching. It also addresses many hard questions that we don’t think about until it happens to you/your family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Marlo H The story follows Susan, a woman living with FTD (frontotemporal dementia)—the same disease affecting Bruce Willis. This is not just a film about illness; it’s about humanity. Susan gives an unflinching yet tender look at how dementia reshapes family life, revealing the love, tension, and resilience that surface when a mother, sister, and grandmother must lean on others for care—while still very much remaining her own person. It’s an important film, shining a light on a condition many know little about, while also celebrating the strength of both Susan and the family who surrounds her. Don’t miss this powerful story and beautiful film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Emily S Shows raw personal journey for family and how they act and react to FTD and their moms courageous journey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review kendra w Amazing film that hit very close to home for my family. We laughed and cried the whole way through. Susan’s story is an incredible one of strength and courage. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
