André is an Idiot Review: Comedic Documentary Turns Cancer Into a Silly Joke

As a film lover, I’ve been thinking about how different movies approach the topic of dying. This one feels really distinct from last year’s film about Andrea Gibson, Come See Me in the Good Light. Gibson’s film saw death as a chance to appreciate the small things and slow down, while Ricciardi seems to almost mock its finality. Both filmmakers, in their own way, were searching for meaning in everyday life as they contemplated death, but they took such different paths to get there.
