There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane

There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane (2011) is a documentary by Liz Garbus you can watch online on iFILM. The film digs into one of the most baffling road tragedies in America: on a summer afternoon a trusted suburban mother drove against traffic on a New York parkway and caused a head-on crash that killed eight people.

Garbus starts from a question rather than a verdict. Everyone who knew Diane Schuler calls her steady, capable, the woman you'd hand your kids to without a second thought. Yet the autopsy turned up heavy alcohol and traces of marijuana in her blood, and her husband still refuses to accept the report. The film gathers relatives, experts and investigators, and each account quietly fails to line up with the last.

This is a hushed, deeply uneasy film about how little we truly know the people closest to us. Garbus hands you no comfortable answer; she leaves you alone with gaps that never close. For viewers who want honest true crime with no sensational gloss, it lingers long after the credits. Stream There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane (2011) online on iFILM.
