Reviews for “Go Gentle”
“It is hard to describe how enamored I am with this documentary about this amazing woman’s journey, and her simple acceptance of that journey’s end. Shirley’s beautiful spirit is quite evident, and just made me feel good inside listening to her.”
“This is such an amazing documentary. I can see myself watching it several more times. It and she really spoke of what I believe and want.”
“How can you not respect strong, informed, healthy choice? Who has the right to decide? Shirley did not pursue a closed minded or stubborn choice. She pursued the inevitable, gently. What a great personality that I have had a chance, via this documentary, to know. It definitely changes how I see and perceive the inevitable.”
“While death is inevitable, it doesn't have to be a taboo subject… Everyone should watch this.”
“Some who oppose the idea of having a choice about dying may think people who choose death aren't mentally fit enough to make such a decision. Shirley proves them wrong.”
“This is a must-see for people of all ages. The amazing artist at the center of the film is exceptionally articulate and a joy to watch.”
“I hope that it will become common for those of us fortunate to reach a place in life where it no longer makes sense to continue suffering, that alternatives are readily available. Grateful for the way she shared her journey.”
“Shirley pushes open the door to what heretofore has been such a taboo subject. Why do we look at death as if it were such a horrible option if we are lucky enough to even have it as an option? She gets my vote as one of the most intelligent people I have ever encountered. Bravo Shirley!”
“Rule #1: TELL A STORY. This is just boring garbage. AVOID. Could not WAIT for the boring, pedantic, self-important old Jewish woman to just DIE ALREADY! “
