After knowing his young son struggles cancer. Ryan Green who is a video game programmer decide to document their life in the form of special video game. “That Dragon, Cancer” is a great gift for everyone.
In that final, gracefully handled note, the film again proves itself a mature meditation on the ordeal of tragedy, and art's capacity for helping us process it.
Grieving father Ryan Green may be aware that he's performing for the cameras in the moving documentary/character study Thank You for Playing, but his self-conscious behavior never cancels out his apparent sincerity.
The documentary falls under the weight of its own despair, repeating this same solemn note, succeeding in honoring a boy's memory but unfortunately failing to move.
A documentary that works as both an emotional portrait of a slow-motion family tragedy and a slippery inquiry into the therapeutic properties of making art.
