That night at the hospital, the doctors told Jason’s family -- if he makes it through the night, there won’t be much left of him. Jason’s wife, Monica, pregnant at the time, froze. “Everything completely stopped. I forgot all about the pregnancy. I think I left my body. I remember thinking, ‘This cannot be true. I cannot go on without Jason.’”

Days passed, and Jason’s family was forced to accept the new dark reality at hand. But they refused to accept the dark future described by doubtful doctors. So in the face of wrenching despair and horrifying odds, the Criglers made a resolution -- Jason will make a full recovery. And thus began the long, grueling, implausible and mystifying journey chronicled in Life. Support. Music. --© Official Site [More]

Perhaps the film should be called Life. Support. Music. Pretension.

If you can get past the excruciating title, Life. Support. Music. is a blessedly nimble journey from loss to reclamation.

As in Metzgar's Chances of the World Changing and his recent Reporter, the helmer's quiet narration and sharp focus grant his subjects a matter-of-fact dignity.

Eric Daniel Metzgar has made a not-very-good movie marked by his consistent inability to let the material speak for itself.
