Gleason
A FILM BY Clay Tweel
A FILM BY Clay Tweel
A powerful look into the disease's shockingly rapid pace and one man's battle against it.
- John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
Tweel has crafted a film that goes beyond the facts of Gleason's life into the depths of human anguish and resilience that define character. It promotes an awareness of ALS that goes beyond the best-intended any ice-bucket challenge — and ranks as a profound achievement.
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
