So, 'Gloria & Me' is this intimate documentary focusing on Gloria Taylor, who’s facing ALS. It’s not just about her illness; it’s about her struggle for autonomy in a really poignant way. The atmosphere is heavy but also filled with moments of warmth as we see her daily battles and the connection she forms with filmmaker David McIlvride. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with the weight of her decisions and the societal issues surrounding euthanasia. It’s not flashy; there are no big effects—just raw emotion and real-life moments that hit hard. You definitely feel the tension between dignity and suffering throughout, and that’s what sets it apart from other docs on similar subjects.
