RASPBERRY

In his director's statement, Julian Doan says, “When it came time to say our goodbyes, my mind was clouded. I thought ‘How can I capture everything I want to say about this man and our life together, in such limited language, such limited time?’” I understand this film way too much right now. Death is absurd and mundane; we don’t always know how to act or what to say. Raspberry looks at death in a way that most films don’t. It kind of gives you permission to say goodbye in the way that feels right to you without worrying what others think. Well done.
