There's an intimacy in her quest to uncover the layers of her brother Josh's life, which are drawn out through candid interviews and archival footage. The film's atmosphere is raw; you can almost feel the weight of loss and the fragile nature of memory. It has a distinctive tone that balances sorrow with the pursuit of understanding, making it resonate on many levels. It's not just about loss, but about connection and the often invisible ties that bind us to those we've lost.
