What begins as a poignant tribute to filmmaker Kurt Kuenne’s dead best friend snowballs into a gut-wrenching true-crime story in “Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father,” a film that, like the twist-filled events it covers, isn’t always what it appears to be. (Variety)

Thanks to Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net who says the film is “easily one of the most profound and amazing documentaries I’ve watched in my entire life.” After the cut you’ll find the poster painted by Evan B. Harris. Evoking uneasy secrets in the attic, it’s truly a thing of beauty.

(For full appreciation of the eerie detail, click to enlarge. Reminds me a little of the complex primitivism employed by the backwoods artist in Junebug, with more precisely refined draftsmanship.)
