"...The talk of Slamdance... Dear Zachary is, above all, a virtuoso feat in editing, and Kuenne uses the material at his disposal to devastating effect... it's impossible not to feel emotionally exhausted." - Peter Debruge, Variety
One reviewer talked of the film being life changing. It is. Although I had some difficulty with the lead-in to the final scenes, I realize that it was because I had been so expertly drawn into the lives of the people in this film that I was experiencing the denial stage of grief.
Another reviewer said that it was not a film to be critiqued.
What more can a film do than to make the audience a part of its reality. When that reality IS reality you have seen a brilliant documentary. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is nothing less.
