Seeing his daughter sitting helplessly on the side of the road at night, the distress burst out naturally from my heart. When I heard the eulogy, my tears couldn't stop. Simple is more touching.

Grace is gone
Randi 2022-01-24 08:01:28
The film is short, the story is very simple, the rhythm is slow but grasped in place, there is no overwhelming emotions, no extreme expressions, a little bit, it makes us sad but also accept the reality, cry and smile and walk on. In fact, frankly speaking, because my experience is similar to that of the children in the film, and I was about the same age as Heidi at the time, I felt more sentimental when I watched it.

The film does not cried out the grief, or wins the audience’s sympathy tears with a large number of flashbacks. It can even be regarded as a road movie. In a soothing and random rhythm, the film is like a song of bitterness and joy. Prose poems.

John Phillips: It's important that people have their own views based on an understanding of facts. But, it's also important not to trust the facts, because most of them are lies.
Heidi Phillips: I don't get it.
John Phillips: It basically comes down to a gut thing. You just have to be open to allowing for a truth which differs from your own opinions. Or else you'll never actually see the truth at all.

Grace Phillips: [leaving a message] Hi everyone, it's mom! I just wanted to call and tell you how much I'm thinking of you. Stan, I guess you're at work now. Have you had a chance to go to that group thing yet? I think its a great idea. God, it's hot here. I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to call again. It might be a few days.
