About This Movie

Dr. Gretchen Berland's experiment with video cameras yields a rich tapestry of experiences, showcasing the daily challenges and triumphs of Galen, Ernie, and Vicki over nearly two years. It's not just a documentary; it's an intimate portrait that captures the resilience and humor of its subjects, all while challenging stereotypes about disability. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe, and there's this palpable sense of authenticity in their stories. You really feel like you're sharing in their journeys, almost eavesdropping on their lives. The practical effects? Well, there aren’t any here—just real life unfolding in all its messy glory.
