Very good job

[crazyhorse1178]

Excellent. I particularly enjoyed the repetitive camera angles/scenes. Gave a sense of having to deal with the same situation every day.

Everyone will relate to this differently... we are all different.

I see the character Lisa wanting to escape into her books as a means to leave the frustration of her relationship with her mother. That for me is inspiring.

Great film Ben and Josh!

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. Alzheimer's is serious, I am personally dealing with early stages with my own mother. It's frustrating dealing with her and knowing when not to snap. I am slowly learning about the disease and learning to cope as well as deal with someone who lives with it. I can relate and I'm glad this video was made.
