Beautiful Something Left Behind (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, Beautiful Something Left Behind is a notable film directed by Katrine Philp.

What it’s about. In New Jersey, the Good Grief community focuses on a holistic way of dealing with grief, where children can give in to rage in ‘the volcano room,' and say goodbye to a dying teddy bear patient in ‘the hospital room.' Over the course of a year, we follow the weekly meetings and get close to Kimmy, Nicky, Peter, Nora, Nolan, and Mikayla and their close companion: grief. It is sometimes heartbreaking, but also humorous, to experience the questions about life and death through their open and curious minds. Grief is high and heavy as a mountain, but it helps you understand what has happened, and that death is irreversible.

How it landed. With an audience score of 9.0/10, Beautiful Something Left Behind sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.

Where to watch. In AU you can stream it on Foxtel Now, DocPlay and DocPlay Amazon Channel. See the full, country-by-country breakdown on our where to watch Beautiful Something Left Behind page.
