Review of Obit (2017) by Patti C — 28 May 2017
No small task taken by these journalists: to write a person's history upon their death. At the New York Times newspaper, several writers do just this task! While this appears to be a morbid documentary film, director Vanessa Gould takes us on an entertaining journey from death notice to published obituary.
We see how the lives of these newspaper writers unfold to write a worthwhile story about a person whose impact on history warranted pause and reflection. I highly recommend this smart and intriguing glimpse of how obituaries are written and lives remembered.
