306 Hollywood

I really enjoyed your documentary. I have to admit that I am more than a little jealous that I never thought to do something like this. At one point in time I had five generations alive on both sides in my family. While I do have pictures I always wish there were something more. We spent most of our time with my grandmother on my fathers side. She was an incredible woman. She passed away just shy of her 100th birthday. Her mother lived to be 103 and my other great grandmother was 101.

I found your tribute to be heartwarming, loving, inspiring and hopeful. I say hopeful because I hope that this truly amazing story will remind others that we don't live forever and to cherish every moment we have with our loved ones. And given the opportunity we should do everything we can to preserve their memories for future generations.

This film was so original and lovely and remarkable! I loved the details of the miniature version of the grandmothers house and I am now inspired to do that small part at least for my grandmothers home. This is definitely a film you do not want to miss!

I truly liked what was happening with the film until the reenactments. Didn't fit and too crusty for this type of documentary. I think your grandma would have liked it but maybe wouldn't liked it more without the underwear shots. It made me giggle but she was very sensitive and was nervous quickly. I would have loved her too though. Good effort and at least you got it out there!!

The filmmakers clearly love their family. This documentary is lush and stylish, as if Wes Anderson was a brother & sister team of documentarians. I honestly don't understand the negative reviews. See this for yourself and decide.

Although clearly rooted in deep affection and love, I found this to be an unfortunate, self-indulgent, ultimately disrespectful, and at times humiliating film. Like others, I was particularly disturbed by the filmmakers' decision to almost literally lay-bare their diminished, beloved grandmother on camera, despite her seeming discomfort. One hopes that Grandma's "atoms" were not able to tune in for a screening. Using a personal archaeological investigation of a home as a lens for understanding one's life is intriguing, but the approach was not fully realized. The end result is aesthetically slick but feels superficial.
