Daniel (II) (2023)
10/10
Stunningly beautiful
24 December 2023
Yes!

Such a life-affirming movie. About what truly matters. Love, travel, nature, family, friends, people, the beauty of life, art & expression. It's also about loss, karma and acceptance.

With people documenting so much of their lives these days on video, it makes for some stellar documentaries.

Please watch this movie. It's a rarity to encounter a film that simultaneously captures the raw beauty of life and makes you mourn all who you've lost. I lost my brother eleven years ago and Daniel had me crying cathartic tears of grief. And I related to Daniel's loss of his grandmother to what I assume was dementia.

Daniel also made me think about my son who is in a horribly depressed, hopeless and rebellious phase. At least I hope it's a phase. He's really hurting and I can't do anything to help. I hate this. It physically hurts to see your kid in so much pain. And to not feel empowered to do any of the comforting a mother would do, especially as one who shows love via touch. If only my son could see this documentary. He needs an infusion of the life force and demonstration of grace that is both Daniel the person and Daniel the movie (thanks in part to his loving sister who produced). I haven't been as inspired or moved since Anthony Bourdain passed away.

The Deep End (2022)
10/10
Pull your heads out!

Yes, I give Teal Swan a 1 rating too. But please don't use your bias against a sociopathic cult leader as "evidence" that the documentary is bad. That's like saying Apocalypse Now is a bad movie because the Vietnam War sucked. Seriously, what is wrong with people?!?

This documentary is excellent and I encourage anyone to watch it in hopes that it can stop these self-help gurus who prey on human fragility. As vile as Teal is, I could honestly see myself getting sucked into her web due to my depression, trauma and adhd.
