A different kind of film of love and dementia
I'm not sure how much of reality is there, but I want to see it.

Included with Paramount+ subscription, and PPV on few other streaming services. I watched it last night. They did not explain time frame but appears to have been filmed over at least a couple of years as he goes from at least stage 3 to 5+. It’s the first one I have seen primarily with the actual PWD and not actors or a lot of commentary from care providers. He was a television journalist and there are numerous clips from earlier in his career, home movies giving some context to his life and how much changed. She is brave to include some difficult moments of confusion and agitation though I am sure there must be worse episodes left unseen. Also lots of caring interactions and her struggles to hold on to his memories as they are fading. If you live with a PWD you won’t learn much of anything new, but if you want someone else to understand more of your reality, this film shows many examples of what it is like to be with a person in decline.
