I think a “tissue” warning is good and sums up the main emotions that people will probably feel. The lead in to the movie explains what people will see content wise. #TissueAlert works well ✅

We watched it too. Its well worth the time and the tissues.

We wondered how to succinctly warn people about the tissues. You captured it with #TissueAlert. Thanks for that. Hope you don't mind if we borrow it occasionally...

Why do people chose medical aid in dying?

Finally had a chance to watch this. Heartwarming, but #TissueAlert.

It can be uncomfortable to think about what you mean to others, yet it’s a useful doorway into considering the lessons and memories you’ll leave in others’ hearts after you die.
