With this inventive portrait, director Kirsten Johnson seeks a way to keep her 86-year-old father alive forever. Utilizing moviemaking magic and her family’s dark humor, she celebrates Dr. Dick Johnson’s last years by staging fantasies of death and beyond. Together, dad and daughter confront the great inevitability awaiting us all.
What a wonderful way to spend your last moments with a loved one, making new and unforgettable memories until the wheels fall off. It’s hard not to take the leap and think about your own or the mortality of your family while watching. Moved me to tears several times and on the flip side the title card gag sent me to the moon.

★★★☆ There's a bit in this where Kirsten Johnson tells her Dad shes going on a trip to Israel and I almost slipped the Criterion Blu-ray of this film out the window down a floor for good measure.
