About This Movie

This documentary dives deep into the mind of Ron, who’s grappling with a brain injury that distorts his memory and sense of self. The filmmaker, his daughter, uses his notebooks as a vehicle to explore these themes. It’s a raw and intimate look at the struggle for connection amidst cognitive decline. What really stands out is the pacing; it feels almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to reflect on the fragility of memory. The atmosphere is thick with emotion but never veers into melodrama. Performances are compelling, especially the director's own vulnerability in sharing such personal material. It’s distinctive not just for its subject matter, but for how it invites us to engage with the complexities of our own memories.
