A touching story, but undressing her seemed unnecessary

I think so many of us can relate. The history of the life of someone we love so very much. The difficulty in letting go of what is left behind. I was uncomfortable when she was encouraged to undress on camera, I'm certain that the filmmakers doubted themselves on that one. Since I tend to give the benefit of the doubt I hoped that it was a treasured and intimate moment between the three of them. Annette doesn't seem humiliated to me. Some people are more comfortable with that kind of exposure than others. I am hoping that is the case.

Good and not so good!

First, I love this kind of film. I really liked a lot about the film. It was creative and endearing but I feel like it lacked information. You had asked her 87 questions over 10 years but I feel like we barely heard any of them. I agree with the others and thought the scene of taking her clothes off was completely unnecessary and embarrassing for her and it lasted way too long. I feel like you really skimmed the surface on what was supposed to be a family documentary but turned it into a very stylized student film project. However, you had a lot of great ideas especially the women dancing in front of the house with the dresses and the reenactment of the family audio tape. I'm glad I watched it and I think your grandma was precious but I would have liked to get to know her a little more through your film.
