Jason Lancaster

Directed by Lindsay Goodall 

Director Lindsay Goodall documents her grandmother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease and the hardship it places on the family. This film follows a discussion where Goodall and her grandmother (Irene) talk about staying at an assisted living home for a week. Irene repeatedly forgets and at one point believes she is going to France. She does eventually go to the assisted living home and returns.

Goodall shows the burden the family is under and the humor that holds them together. The film was short, concise, and presented in a way that kept the audience focused. Goodall also did a good job showing how Irene could not physically take care of herself; while at the same time, Irene refused to believe she needed an assisted living home.
