A stroke victim finds herself in a harrowing place after her husband pulls an old karaoke machine out of their garage. A haunting tear-jerker of a genre drama with mountains of soul, ATROPHY is an emotionally walloping work from Brooklyn filmmakers Nick Hartanto and Sam Roden. In Hartanto's words, “ATROPHY is a deeply personal story about my parents that uses genre elements to show the horrors of my mother's fight to recover from a stroke and my father’s struggle to become her caregiver.” It’s a remarkable film, beautifully put together, with moving performances by Irene Tsu and Bert Matias that will have your heart in your throat. – Mitch Davis
