Grieving the suicide of a friend, L. Frances Henderson heads to Las Vegas, the suicide capitol of the nation, to seek answers. There she learns about the shocking death of a local teenager who leaped from the roof of the city's tallest casino. While investigating the suicide epidemic further, she ﬁnds that the city is also burdened by a national problem scrambling to bury decades of nuclear excess in a nearby mountain. Artfully maneuvering between two stories burgeoning with existential questions, THIS MUCH WE KNOW masterfully links these seemingly disparate subjects of self-annihilation and environmental issues into something supernatural, unforgettable, and transcendent.

As eloquent as it is, “This Much We Know” may also be exploitative.

Even though I wasn't there for the entire ride, it's very moving.

Whilst being a tribute to those who were lost and the ways in which death by suicide can affect so many people, This Much we Know won’t give any answers to why our loved ones may choose to take their own lives.

Henderson’s hand proves too heavy, and under its weight the sensitive material takes on a scurrilous sheen. This Much We Know reveals nothing by its conclusion beyond the limits of forced enquiry and the profundity of loss.

like an essay in motion, pursuing tangents and possibilities but always circling back to the initial impulse, the unanswered question. ... essentially a peek inside [director Lily Frances] Henderson’s mind.
