An intimate look at the transformative experience of burying two parents. “Good Grief” is at once a celebration of one family bound together by a love of cinema and an unflinching look at what happens to a body when the spirit finally leaves it forever. Weaving Super 8 films shot by his late father into the story of his mother’s final moments of life, the filmmaker tells a tale of hope that is at once deeply personal yet hauntingly universal.
Score: Vincent Gillioz
