This review is from: So Much So Fast (DVD)

Well put-together and though-provoking. Every scene confronts the family with decisions that challenge their perspective--as well as the viewer's--about what comes first in life. Even the seemingly mundane daily tasks resonates with significance when it may be one of the last time you get to share that experience with the afflicted family member. How many of us could be jolted from the incessant "work-only" mentality that this society place on us to lift our hands off the keyboard and spend a quiet afternoon with someone--even if they were not in imminent danger of a life-terminating disease--just because it is the more important thing to do? This is a heart-warming movie that the audience--whether they have any member of their family with a life-threatening affliction or not--will gain a lot of perspective.

This review is from: So Much So Fast (DVD)

Very well made, touching, involving documentary about a man dying of
ALS.

It's inspiring and profoundly moving to watch him keep his sense of
humor and humanity throughout, and watch his brother, who became
obsessed with saving him, finding a way to start a whole foundation in
a renegade way.

It deserves kudos for the unusually honest and heartfelt way it explores the
stresses the whole experience puts on the family, along with the deep
sense of connection it brings them.
