00:00I love that scene with Helen and Jonathan Price who plays her husband Stephen where he says
00:04you look like the queen and he sort of has this moment and they both just glow with love for each
00:09other and it's a real moment for them as a couple in terms of their characters because you know he
00:15has dementia in the film and she's talking about how she's finding it hard to navigate that and
00:20it's this moment of clarity between the two of them and as actors they just show such love on
00:24their faces just in that moment and I think that that's not something I wrote they obviously do
00:30that it really stayed with me I just thought it was a beautiful balance between I mean just people's
00:36experiences with I mean I guess Stephen has dementia or some form form of that does it yeah so I thought
00:43the balance between the good days and the bad days was just really like beautifully portrayed
00:48um how do you hope that people with lived experiences of these kind of things will um
00:54will see the film well I hope I hope they find it hopeful and I hope they find it comforting
01:01I hope they feel seen by it um you know I have experience of dementia from my family and I've
01:07watched that process occur and um and it is confusing and it can be quite difficult and I
01:13I'm disconcerting and unsettling but then you get these moments like I had with my grandparents
01:19where they're just so there suddenly in their eyes just for a moment and you know they're still there
01:25and it's a very arresting moment actually in that regard I hope other people recognize that too and feel
01:31seen by it as I said and recognized and also that it is hard but also you know if you ask your friends
01:37for help or if you try to bring in people around you or just say I'm struggling that that is
01:42incredibly important and that can really change your whole experience of life and your relationship
