My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)

Director Kurt Kuenne creates a documentary film to capture the life of his best friend who was killed by an ex-girlfriend, a woman who ends up pregnant with his friend's son.  In essence this is a love letter and an exploration of patience and devoted love.   I was stunned and enraged by all that happened.  It's hard to recommend such an emotional draining film but it really is an incredible story.  Truth that life is stranger and harsher than fiction.  Grade: A
