Dear Community,
I recently saw the Bridget Jones 4: Mad About the Boy in the cinema, and was talking to friends about it afterwards. It turns out we had very different reactions to the film.
My friends were not aware before they watched the film that it deals, among many other things, with different forms of bereavement. They were rather taken aback and might not have chosen the film if they had known. By contrast, I found the treatment of death and bereavement very sensitive and insightful - as much as can be done in what is, still, a comedy for much of the film - and appreciated the topic being woven into the characters' on-screen lives.
So I am wondering: do you seek out or appreciate intelligent depictions of loss and grief on the big screen (or the TV)? Are there any films or shows that have stuck with you long after you saw them?
