Kelly's Hollywood

This film is a super interesting chronicle about a relationship between a brother and his younger sister with Down's Syndrome. It is thought provoking. It is not a situation most of us will experience or have familiarity with. It raised a lot of questions for me about love, family and commitment. To have such an intimate look into this very personal world was fascinating. It was touching and funny and engaging. No one can know the best path to chart in life. Brian follows his heart and dedicates himself to another, in a way that I have not seen. To witness this strange and beautiful journey left me a wiser person. It is worth watching, not because if offers answers or solutions, but because it gives the viewer a glimpse into a love between and brother and sister that will make a lasting impression.

A story of a brother's love for his special sister and how he made her dreams come true. I wish we had more true to life stories like this.

It was so incredibly touching to see the relationship between Brian and his sister Kelly. Kelly had an infectious personality and was determined in everything she did. Brian is just as determined and he did everything he could to help Kelly reach her dreams as well as his own. Their Mom, Dad, brother and Brian's wife as well as all of their friends are there to do everything they could to help Brian make all things possible for Kelly. You will laugh and cry as you become intertwined in this relationship as you hope for all things possible for Kelly. This is an once in a lifetime movie experience you will only regret if you don't take the time to see.

This film is a fantastic tribute to not only Brian's beautiful sister, Kelly, but all families caring for someone with IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). As a sibling of someone on the autism spectrum, this film truly touched me and inspired me to be a better sister, and to also share our experiences with the world to create a more inclusive and diverse community. But the story was also well-balanced, not only showing the joys, but the challenges. More neurotypical families need to realize the depth of the sacrifice our families make daily to love and care for our unique children/siblings. They add so much to our lives and grow our character in ways most people will never understand!

Not only was "Kelly's Hollywood" heartwarming, but entertaining, well-narrated, and well-edited! More people need to see this film!!

Kelly and Brian Donovan were utterly devoted to each other as siblings and best friends. The depth of love that they shared is evident in almost every frame of this documentary, making it an exceptional viewing entertainment suitable for ages 6 and up. That Kelly was a special needs adult is secondary to the journey Brian Donovan takes us on as he attempts, quite successfully, to understand what the price and rewards are for greatest of life's gifts--unconditional love. In a time as crass as the one we are now in I can't think of better film to get people back in touch with their own humanity.
