20 Most Anticipated Netflix Originals For The Rest Of 2020

Release Date: TBA

One of the most acclaimed documentaries from this year's Sundance - alongside a Special Jury Award for Innovation in Non-fiction Storytelling - Dick Johnson Is Dead sees filmmaker Kirsten Johnson examine her father's dementia through the most blackly comic and surreal of means.

The film is largely comprised of bizarre dramatisations of ways in which Dick could die, with father and daughter making one final collaboration that's reportedly as touching as it is devastatingly funny.

Though the potential for exploitation speaks for itself, the film has received universal praise from critics so far, lauding it for its affecting tribute to a man reaching the end of his life.

It may not be a huge-budget streaming blockbuster, but it sure sounds like potent nourishment for the soul.
