A big family like this has different kind of characters in it. And while group suffering is one thing, there is also the individual suffering. And the documentary or filmmaker at helm do a good job getting us in the middle of it. It's never easy dealing with the loss of a loved one, especially if you don't know what went on in their head.In this case you won't get always all the answers you want to. It's tough to watch but it's finely edited and you may wonder at times if the filmmaker should have offered some kind of help or stayed objective (the latter being the case as you can imagine). If you can stomache it, watch it, but don't expect anything too flashy or sensational from this movie

Very well-made documentary. I can say the director has made a very good work in directing this film. The kind of documentary that can make you think about life and its ups and downs. How important it is to maintain yourself happy and to understand the ones around you.

This is truly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Yes it's sad but this is their life. I know from reading reviews and tweets that this film has already helped people with mental health issues because it deals with suicide. If you have an interest in Autism and related conditions you'll also want to watch it. Don't take my word for it - Google 'Kingdom Of Us reviews' and see what The Guardian, Rotten Tomatoes, Screen Daily, Daily Dot, The Telegraph, and Decider have to say about it. They can give a way better description than I can. Whatever you do, just watch it.
