Time Passages is a haunting, beautiful, and deeply emotional documentary. Written, directed, and crafted by Kyle Henry, the documentary takes us through a monologue by Henry as he comes to terms with the slow motion passing of his mother, Elaine. After years of being Kyle’s closest friend and champion, Elaine developed dementia and slowly faded away. And to make matters even more tragic, the progression of Elaine’s condition coincided with a pandemic that separated Kyle from his mom by several states.
Through the use of home videos, photos, and conversations with his siblings, Kyle attempts to rebuild his mother’s memory. Time Passagesthus begins as a vain attempt to jog his mother’s failing memory and develops into a tribute to his mother’s life, before finally becoming an ongoing grief therapy session as Kyle begins to interview his mother in an unexpected, almost surreal fashion that is surprisingly effective, emotional and deeply cathartic.
