Not Bad at All

About This Movie

Not Bad at All is a raw, intimate documentary that captures the essence of familial love and the toll of Alzheimer's. Jessica Petruccelli, the director and main subject, brings a personal touch, showcasing her weekly bus rides from NYC to Boston, where she tends to her ailing father, Aloysius. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each moment as she navigates the complexities of memory and care. The atmosphere is both tender and heavy, with a focus on small, everyday interactions that feel profoundly significant. What strikes me is the authenticity—no gloss, just real-life struggles and fleeting joys. Practical effects? Well, it’s all about the lived experience here, and that makes it stand out in a sea of more polished docs.
