[Movie] Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

I just watched it. Great movie. I welled up a couple times through the movie and actually cried at the end which is pretty rare for me. I don't think it was difficult to watch like other have said, but I don't have kids.

 

might watch tomorrow since its on the netflix streaming.

 

I almost turned it off. That was hard to watch.

But wow. I don't think a film has ever brought up emotions like that in me.

This is very highly recommended. But wow.

I'm speechless.

 

I just finished watching this....

went through a roller coaster of emotions. I couldn't look at that piece of dog s***'s face after the twist near the end. That was very enraging. I'm a man of God and I pray that woman and all other women like her (yates, etc) get the most severe punishment in the Hellfire.

Hearing her voice after I knew what she did was just very very discomforting. The law truly let society down.

 

Not that she wasn't accountable, but she was clearly messed up in the head.

The problem is the many sane people in positions of authority that allowed it to happen.

 

God bless Kate and David.. I cannot imagine having to go thru what they've gone thru... tragic story indeed... this documentary has helped and will continue to help in bringing changes to the laws in Canada

 

First movie I have ever watched where I couldn't hold it in.

 

Ill need to watch this by myself. Can't let the folks see me crying.

 

Movie was decent, but not mindblowing. Or maybe was a bit overhyped after reading all the previous responses. I didn't really feel anything toward any of the characters. It seemed the film maker was trying to villainize the Canadian authorities, but they appeared to be doing their jobs. Sad set of circumstances though.

 

Old thread is old, but I just watched this tonight and I can't shake it. This film, like no other I've seen, took my emotions from one distant end of the spectrum to the other, and back again. It will very likely rip you up inside, but it delivers some valuable messages along the way.

So even if only one person sees this film because I bump this thread, then I feel this post is one of the most meaningful I've contributed to this board in 6 years.

Zachary's Bill became law in Canada just 30 days ago.

Thank you for that last part, you just made my day.

And no other film has ever made me experience emotions like Dear Zachary did. Truly one of the best documentaries ever

 

I still haven't watched this, but it's been sitting in my Netflix queue since July.

 

I watched this with my uncle (RIP) last year and we were both pissed. One of the best documentaries I have ever watched.

 

Well, I cried like a little b**** at the end.

Incredible doesnt even begin to describe the raw emotion behind the film.

I really hope everyone gets to see this film atleast once in their lives...really puts in perspective just how much you can be, and are, loved.

 

Sorry for bumping a semi old thread, but I didn't see what this movie is rated... I wanna watch it soon, and I'm deciding if I should watch it in front of some of my family members. Is it appropriate for most ages? Thanks.

 

The movie is listed as "Unrated", but I'd say it's clearly not a movie for children under the age of about 13. There are aspects of the movie that a fully grown, well-adjusted adult will have trouble coming to grips with. Not the kinds of things you'll want to have to explain to a kid. There is also some harsh language during at least one part of the movie.

Personally, I'm not sure I would watch this in front of anyone.

 

FYI to anyone thinking about watching this through Netflix streaming...

It looks like it's only available through 2/24/2011.

It's not exactly a mainstream movie, so this is by far the easiest way to get your hands on it.

 

Just finished watching. I did cry but it was a very powerful film. I cannot even begin to imagine the hell them two are going through.
