Review of Kingdom of Us (2017) by Cory M — 21 Oct 2017

A very deep and intimate view of a family struggling to understand, remember and wonder why a person so genetically close to them would decide to leave them so prematurely. This movie really seemed to touch areas of the loss of my own father which I still haven't fully processed and didn't even realize still existed. Despite his death being of natural causes.

As a viewer, the producer and director leave you wanting to know more about the "what, how and why's" all while relating to the children who seem to also be struggling along with you.

A very sad story when seen through the eyes of the kids and the effect it will likely always have on you. However, it's also a story of a strong family who realize they are all each other has. They are at first appearance, a torn broken family. However, by the end of the movie you quickly make the shift to understanding they're the opposite. One of the strongest families you've likely ever seen.

Thank you to the producers, director and especially the Shank's for telling their story.
