I feel like I'm not really equipped to rate this documentary because a parent's grief is not something you can really discuss about. Because the main theme here is grief, not immortality or cryogenic conservation. This documentary made me feel uncomfortable because I had the distinct impression that something in this family's dynamics was not working quite right... It IS an interesting watch but at the same time I felt like an intruder.

After watching this entire sad flick, I have given up. The baby was so young and small and not even aware of anything that she probably didn't even know she was gonna die. Therefore, why freeze her? Just let her go.

I had high hopes for this documentary, because the topic is something that has always sparked a great interest in me. I must say this documentary was shot very well, visually this could have been a 8 or a 9. But it all went south on the angles they decided to follow in this story. This is a perfect example of a documentary that just wants it all. It wants to give you an insight in the suffering of this people, what cryonics is all about, how the son is getting involved in the science to bring back his sister. Especially with the son, it's clear from the get go this is an exceptional smart kid. But there is no information on his background. You see him sitting behind a microscope "working" on bringing back his sister. But it just feels so pretended. There is just not enough backstory on this family who is clearly very rich, which gives you quickly a privileged taste that never really goes away. In the end when the credits are rolling over your screen, you just felt like this was a rich family who could afford to never let their daughter go. But by doing this they have denied themselves the right on grieving.

This family has no justification or explanation to give us. People are here to judge other people's decisions. It's terrible what they went through. They want to believe and trust their decision. Brave family!

It's a very sad story but left me a bit empty, perhaps because we never really got to know the little girl while she was alive. The journey is mostly a scientific one concerning cryogenics and whether we will ever be able to restore meaningful life after death. Of course, the irony of this particular story is that the father, himself a devoted scientist, is unable to face the most natural and inevitable biological event known to man...death. Yes, losing your child is the ultimate heartbreaking event. Of course it is. We all fear it more than anything else. I do not presume to judge this family but I will say that I felt their son had been inadvertently forced into an inability to move on and have a joyful life. I empathized the most with him.

...why should we? This is one way to take advantage of a family who loved their baby girl so much. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but this movie was made too early, in my opinion. Nothing has been advanced scientifically since cryogentic's inception--not like we needed here. The movie established at the beginning, that the family's decision was based on science and then wove in the story of love. In the end, the father suggests to his hurting son (maybe because he saw his sister's body being disemboweled and then being quickly dehydrated) that his baby daughter's head will be reanimated when time travel has been discovered, and of course attached to another body. It didn't escape my notice that the father seemed to be living vicariously through his son. Hope the 2nd daughter doesn't have to do the same with her sister.

A beautiful, dramatic and intense documentary, how not to fall in love with the little one, how not to feel the pain of that family, the enormous desire of Matriz, to have a little sister, how sad, a courageous and expensive decision, we all wanted to have this option one day, who knows in the future ... Amen...

Isn't the reason for knowledge is Science! I can't believe some of the reviews! Is it because people don't understand? Or believe. I we didn't choose. Who r we to judge. We don't stand before that jury! Her parents said goodbye as her soul left her body! God took her home! And if he is willing to give her a second chance at life It Was Meant To Be!!!! I Choose Life! Good For U!!

Its seems very unhealthy to not let nature take its course. We all must die one day, some sooner than others. Imo it goes against the natural order of things. I really hope that this family can find true happiness and their daughter rest in peace.
