Interesting But There's Nothing Much
Saw this at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival
"The Longest Goodbye" is a documentary about social isolation affects millions of people, even Mars-bound astronauts. A savvy NASA psychologist is tasked with protecting these daring explorers. Directed by Ido Mizrahy does a good job with the visual presentation and sound design throughout. The main concept is pretty interesting especially from someone who enjoys learning about space and the social aspects in space. However, this wasn't the exact documentary I was hoping for.
The documentary provides great camerawork of space and the production throughout is good. The concepts about space and social isolation are explained but they weren't as interesting as I was hoping for. Many elements that were discussed felt uneven or not as engaging. For example, the discusses about VR used in space as comfort seems pretty cool but it didn't further explain much about it which I would love to see more of.
Overall, it's an alright documentary but it didn't have a huge punch for me.
