“Such a gorgeously shot film that one could mistake it for fiction…One of the best documentaries of Sundance 2026, CLOSURE is a moving story of how grief and love can harden into determination.” -Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
“An ultra-immersive portrait of grief, acceptance, and the role that hope can play in delaying them both.” -David Ehrlich, IndieWire
“[Michał Marczak is] one of the best, most expressionistic nonfiction filmmakers working today.” -David Fear, Rolling Stone
Opens November 20 | After his teenage son, Chris, is last seen by a surveillance camera on a bridge over Warsaw's turbulent Vistula River, Daniel embarks on an all-consuming search. Armed with self-built boats, drones, and underwater cameras, he relentlessly scours the river's depths. As months pass, while his own family struggles to live with the uncertainty of Chris's disappearance, Daniel begins helping other families with missing loved ones find answers — and, at times, the closure that continues to elude him.
