    So much Loss, so much Denial

    I have to say that my heart goes out to the families, losing a family member is hard enough, but when it's Children, it goes beyond words.

    That said, I just can't get past the complete DENIAL of Diane's family.

    Vodka doesn't miraculously materialise in the blood on crashing, nor alas does Marijuana. It got there somehow, and maybe the Family need to accept that small detail.

    Would it give them closure, impossible to say, but I don't think so.

    VERY well made and thought our documentary, showing due care and concideration for all involved.

    She was no saint stop trying to make her into one.

    What makes me mad is this man wants his wife to be a saint. I can accept that she made a mistake. She was a good mother, wife and daughter in law but she messed up. The more he insists she be remembered as this above reproach angel the madder people are getting. A small part of me believes this man is just a narcissist and believes he and his wife are above us. How dare we critize them.

    slow start

    There's a fatal traffic accident that left aunt Diane, her daughter, 3 nieces and 3 men in the other car dead. The case is revealed slowly. In fact, it's done too slowly. What went wrong? After watching so many police procedurals, it's obviously that we need the tox report but they keep holding it off. Instead, they keep going to family and friends who repeat the same sentiment. She's a great mom, and they have no idea what happened. Once we really get into it. It is a fascinating story. The family starts giving more insights. The story gets moving. However in the end, we don't really get the whole story. The movie could be a simple hour-long investigative piece that ties in with the larger drug epidemic. It's not necessary to drag this out so much.

    the family's level of denial is insane

    So the medical examiner is wrong, the toxicology tests are wrong, witness statements (the nieces she ended up killing) are wrong? because some deluded husband can't admit his wife was a drunk? this whole family needs therapy.

    She was drunk

    Spoiler.. I don't think there's any disputing the outcome here but regardless it's a crazy story and a reasonably well done documentary/movie. Worth the watch.
