Would that all death be so peaceful.

Stephen Holden

RTNew York TimesOct 24, 2006

This earnest documentary about assisted suicide plays like a stodgy promotional film for the Swiss organization Exit A.D.M.D., which helps terminally ill patients end their own lives.

[Exit] makes a strong implicit case for a cause supported by a growing number of Americans.

Even if it were all staged, Exit: The Right to Die would be a profound and moving experience.
