You never know who's going to change your life or which movie might change your life.
2021's "Here Today" written, directed and starring Billy Crystal ("City Slickers") could do just that for you.
Over nearly 2 hours it sensitively deals with an ageing comedy writer living with dementia.
Along this journey we meet "Charlie Burnz" co-workers on a hit cable TV show, his grown children and grandchild plus a woman (Tiffany Haddish "Girls Trip") who becomes his friend and helps him through the challenges he faces.
We also discover his past, his dead wife (Louise Krause "The Dive") and so much more in this incredibly moving masterpiece of filmmaking on a topic that is often too dark for comedy, but it works well in "Here Today".
Most of us have been touched by some family member, loved one or friend who has succumbed to this insidious disease.
The sooner we find a cure or even medication to deal with dementia the world will be a much happier place.
If you don't laugh or shed a tear during this film you have no heart.
This is one of the best Billy Crystal projects in decades.
