About This Movie

Pop is this introspective documentary that feels like a road trip in slow motion, you know? It’s not just about the drive from Florida to the Bronx; it’s layered with the weight of family history, especially with Hy's struggles with Alzheimer’s. Joel Meyerowitz captures these moments with a kind of raw honesty that makes you reflect on your own family ties. The pacing is contemplative, encouraging you to sit with the emotions instead of rushing through them.
