About This Movie

It’s got this raw, almost diary-like quality, which makes it feel incredibly personal. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, allowing viewers to really sit with the emotions and complexities involved. Sharon Shattuck’s exploration of her parents' marriage is layered with tenderness and a bit of humor, which keeps it from feeling too heavy. The atmosphere is genuine, capturing the awkwardness and warmth of family reunions, especially against the backdrop of planning a wedding. It's this fascinating blend of personal narrative and broader themes of identity and acceptance that makes it stand out in the documentary landscape.
