So Terribly Unnecessary

About This Movie

So Terribly Unnecessary offers a hauntingly intimate look at a tragedy that many would find difficult to confront. The film is raw and unfiltered, capturing the emotional aftermath of a family's loss after their son falls into a well—a simple accident turned life-altering event. The pacing is slow, allowing the viewers to linger in the deep sorrow and confusion that follows such an incident. Its distinct approach to a profound theme, blending real-life interviews with stark, sometimes unsettling imagery, immerses you in the atmosphere of grief. The performances, particularly from the family, feel genuine and unvarnished, making it all the more powerful. It's not your typical documentary; it’s a chilling exploration of loss that stays with you.

So Terribly Unnecessary has a bit of a niche following among collectors due to its stark subject matter and the obscurity of its production. There are few known prints floating around, and original formats are particularly hard to track down. Limited screenings have added to its rarity, meaning copies, especially in good condition, are often sought after by those interested in serious documentaries and tragic narratives. It stands out not just for its content but for the emotional weight it carries, and it’s one of those films that sparks conversation among collectors.
