Trigger Warning: suicide. Superb documentary. However, this movie depicts actual suicides, which can't be unseen.
Getting to see these perspectives made it worth watching but a few of their ideas and ways of talking about what happened were frustrating
It's so much more than it needs to be, and I'm glad it is. It really dives into the reasons why these people did the things they did
Not easy. Toes the line between documentary honesty and shock factor, although I think the interviews with survivors give it a hopeful spin.
Tragic doc about the suicide. A must watch to appreciate what life has given you though. A bit graphic at times, to warn those interested.
A different take on a documentary with raw footage, witnesses and family interviews seemed out of touch with how the person was feeling
Sad documentary, crazy to see real people falling to their deaths. Very emotional.
Very sad and emotional documentary. People are very lonely.
Unforgivingly dark and bleak. Some of the family interviews were just straight up odd…
Horribly sad, absolutely one of the toughest watches I’ve sat through. Great exploration of a touchy subject
