Movie Haiku:Superlative doc follows five pediatric cancer patients, their families, & care team members. Four hours that could have been maudlin are used instead to fully explore painful issues in a socially-complex world with many medical options that are not always solutions. Remarkably intimate, honest footage justifies both subject & length.
