Saw it for the first time last night for the first time since first release. Great film if you haven’t seen it. It’s a bit ( alright a lot) weird but just go with it. Really holds up

0:33 Did you just call her Shirley Temple lol

This was easily Rivers best performance.Its a beautiful film... funny and heartbreaking at the same time. No other performance has affected me the way Rivers did in this film.I know at one point River was supposed to play Andy Warhol in another film to be directed by Gus Van Sant.That would have been interesting to see.I really miss River....he was the best young actor of my generation.

underrated video man

I love this film so much I bought it; rarely streamed. Excellent acting and story. The Portland scene is an area that got gentrified about 15 years after the film so it’s a time capsule to me to see the “scummy” side of the city as it was with squatters and renting out the entire floor of a 4 story building for $900/month …..

Hyped up as a “disturbing documentary.” I’ve seen my share of true crime and gory death footage. Bland, kinda

speak a little bit slower

When I first watched this documentary I was so angry when the twist happened. I was crying the whole way through the documentary, even watching your video I’m crying. It’s just so sad and such a tragic loss of life

I wish this movie got more talk

I don't know if anyone ever said this but people have called Dear Zachary the most terrifiying documentary and say how much it had traumatized them when I watched it tonight, I didn't feel any of that scary but just love. How much do you love someone to preserve their memory? As someone who always dealt with depressing thoughts, it was very wonderful to know that people who actually care for them and to not ever think that they don't. Did this documentary make me angry like everyone it would? Yes it did, but no had ever discussed that ending and they should.

Really good analysis!! I want to read those books on queer cinema now!

Idk I didn’t connect with this like most people I guess. The story is incredible but the documentary itself was kinda boring and phony feeling imo

Those poor parents. I can't imagine the rage and crushing heartbreak they have been going through. 😢

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I often think of his parents.

Soulslikes are cancer.

Another fucking essay

the things about genre is that it doesn't matter what it means but did you enjoy it? is all that matters

the adventure genre is just a placeholder name imo example: Zelda; honestly you might as well call it a MetroidVania (ironic considering the history of Metroid)

All you said is bullcrap

1:22 reminded me of how I reacted when I first watched that part of the documentary. It broke me and I could not help but wail like I had lost someone of my own. May God rest Andrew and Zachary’s souls.

oh god change

I watched this last night. It's so fast paced and you're completely immersed, it felt like it was only 30 minutes.

I've just listened to a few different reviews of this film (in the form of RU-vid clips.). Some of the reviewers were straight and some gay. None found the film offensive. Nobody said, "Hitchcock draws a parallel between a perverse thrill-kill and gay sex." Or "To make his killers even more repulsive and sickening, Hitchcock made them gay." The film does not deserve praise.

just, what

I'm going to rewatch this now, I haven't seen it in over a decade. Nice review! If you do documentaries in particular please do one on Matthew cookes " how to make money selling drugs "

I saw this movie in English class today. The part where Zachary died shocked me! That was the last thing I expected and I almost cried.

A spoiler warning would be a good inclusion in the future. Dear Zachary, I think, is at its most effective when you know very little about what you're getting into. Thank you for bringing more attention to this movie!

Fab video

Great video dude. Although I haven't seen it, it looks pretty disturbing.

I am that random person, although not up way too late my time watching this! But I just watched the Dear Zachary doc. today and it broke me a bit. So I looked up other videos on the subject and yours came up! Good job on your end for putting this together; you also have a great narrator voice.
