Dying Wish is a rather somber yet thought-provoking documentary that captures the final days of Michael Miller, an eighty-year-old retired surgeon facing end-stage pancreatic cancer. The film has this raw honesty, a very intimate look at how he chooses to approach his impending death by opting not to eat or drink. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing viewers to really sit with his thoughts and the weight of his decisions. There’s something distinctive about the way it blends the personal with the philosophical, making you reflect on life's fragility. The atmosphere is heavy, yet it doesn't feel exploitative. It’s more about understanding his journey than passing judgment, which is what I found compelling about it.
