“There’s an inherent longing in Elizabeth Chomko’s stunning feature debut, ‘What They Had.’  The story will reveal that the phrase refers to the kind of undying love of a man for his wife, even as her memory of their life together cruelly slips away from her because of disease.  Chomko chooses to focus on the light in moments of darkness, and the movie ends on a bittersweet, comforting note.  Despite all we stand to lose in our old age, may we all be so lucky to have memories worth fighting to hold onto.”  Rogerebert.com

There will be a panel discussion after the film on the effects of dementia on the entire family, featuring Roni Lang, LCSW, and Dr. Allison Ostroff, MD, Geriatrician.
