My Favorite Child

About This Movie

My Favorite Child is this poignant documentary that really strikes a chord. It revisits the life of Dwight Core, Jr. decades after his father filmed him in the earlier home documentary, Think of Me First as a Person. The tone is deeply personal, weaving in the warmth of family ties against the backdrop of societal challenges faced by individuals with Down syndrome. The pacing feels natural, almost like a family gathering, where each moment is filled with both joy and sadness. The performances, especially from Dwight's sisters, are heartwarming yet raw, giving an honest glimpse into their lives. It's this blend of love and the real struggles of disability that makes the film compelling and distinct.
