The Best Movie You'll Never Want to Watch Again

The title isn't hyperbole, and this isn't a review or a discursive article, just an introduction, a plea, and a warning. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is the the most emotionally exhausting, tragically heart-breaking and unequivocally demoralising film I've ever seen, but I refuse to explain it to you. It's an incredibly impassioned, majestically visceral experience, but I can't describe it any further. You must know nothing about Dear Zachary before watching for it to be truly, profoundly affecting. It's a documentary, you should know no more than this.

I beg of you to watch this film, it's absolutely magnificent, but, equally, I feel like it would be wrong not to warn you. Your emotional state will be irrecoverable. You will feel hollow, empty. You might come out of it despising the human race, and me for recommending it, but you shouldn't.

As upsetting and distressing as it is, it is also a beautiful (unparalleled cinematically, in my opinion) affirmation of the human spirit in the face of inconceivable anguish and evil.

It is, at its core, a story about the eternal conflict between good and evil. But, you might not like what it has to say on the subject...

I cannot overstate how amazing Dear Zachary is. You'll never want to watch it again, but you will not regret doing so in the first place.
