      Elias Savada Film Threat You'll probably need a hankie. This is raw filmmaking at its finest. Rated: 4/5 Jun 22, 2017 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film This is a straight forward an intimate documentary that quickly forges a connection between us and Palka, through video footage of her as a child and her open approach to talking about the possibility of being diagnosed. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Throws a dinner party on the eve of her Huntingtons test results with a 50/50 chance she'll get it in 10 or 15 years or be completely free the rest of her natural life. It is by the way hellish disease that that gradually takes your mind & body like having both parkinsons & alzhimers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Another HBO documentary, another home run Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member She really struck a beautiful chord with me in her debut "Good Dick" and I was thrilled to see this offered on HBO. Again, her authenticity and heart shine straight through. Her life, her heart and her art are one in the same. If you are struggling with intimacy, watch "Good Dick," and if you want your heart strings tugged even more, watch this story of the endurance of her love of life as she faces the potential unthinkable head-on. It was a welcome bonus to see Jason Ritter braving the storm once again, this time for real, and I am reminded that I watched them together in "Good Dick" 5 times, because it was as impossibly authentic as it gets. That story never ended... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
