SOL (2014)

“Sol Garbus is a man living with Alzheimer's with 24 hour aides to provide for him. During a visit, his son Leland repeats a familiar script for anyone who has experienced this disease up close. He asks if he remembers family members and other basic things. Filmmaker Andrew Garbus works in environment shots in which old pictures and keepsakes are shown around the tiny apartment, as if to hopefully serve as reminders to Sol amid his deteriorating brain function. It’s a heartbreaking film. There is no happy ending with Alzheimer’s, but the film reaches a tear provoking moment towards the end that will crumble the stoniest of hearts. This is the most poignant and powerful eight-minute film I’ve ever seen,” - Theater Jones Magazine
