I also had no idea that Adrienne Shelly directed Waitress, until I watched this documentary, which I'm so grateful I did.
Her husband and daughter walked us through a wonderful love letter for Adrienne Shelly. It was very well put together and produced.
My only wish is for her husband to forgive the clearly remorseful murderer. If Adrienne's husband would have forgiven him, it would have given him and his daughter the peace and closure he mentioned not having towards the end. That would have been the happiest ending to a tragic story. But, I get it. Judaism doesn't teach forgiveness as compared to Christianity, where it is the companion to love. To forgive is one of the most difficult things to do as a human being, but it is the one thing that brings closure, peace, and freedom after a tragedy.
This documentary did a great job of honoring Adrienne Shelly and was so well done that it had the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the liberating power of forgiveness, for the sake of her husband and daughter.
