Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter (1994)

With profound insight and a healthy dose of humor, Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter chronicles the various stages of a mothers Alzheimer Disease and the evolution of a daughters response to the illness. The desire to cure the incurable - to set right her mothers confusion and forgetfulness, to temper her mother obsessiveness - gives way to an acceptance which is finally liberating for both daughter and mother. 'Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter' is far more than a story about Alzheimer and family carers. It is an exploration of family relations, aging, the meaning of memory, and the tenacity of love.
