Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter

The Academy Award nominated Doc on Alzheimers

With insight and levity, this Oscar-nominated documentary chronicles the various stages of a mother's Alzheimer's Disease and the evolution of a daughter's response to the illness. The desire to cure the incurable-to set right her mother's confusion and forgetfulness, to temper her mother's obsessiveness-gives way to an acceptance which is finally liberating for both daughter and mother.

Neither depressing nor medical, COMPLAINTS OF A DUTIFUL DAUGHTER is much more than a story about Alzheimer's and family caregiving. It is ultimately a life-affirming exploration of family relations, aging, change, memory, and love.

Nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. Peabody and Emmy Award Winner. Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.
