"Unconditional" Review

 

by John Zenoni



‘Unconditional’ is a very heavy, sad and yet enlightening documentary that focuses on three families who are faced with physical and mental health challenges. The film is directed by a journalist, Richard Liu, whose father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he took care of with the help of his mom and sister until the passing of his dad in 2021. In addition, the film profiles caregiving done by a husband whose wife is diagnosed with terminal cancer as well as a marathon runner helping her family and her military husband face the aftermath of war. The film talks with each family and gives insight into how they handle things each day and how hard it is on the loved ones who are struggling with a physical and/or mental challenge.
This is just a glimpse into the challenges everyday American’s face and it makes you appreciate your own life, particularly if you haven't had to deal with anything described in the film. Very well done!
