So Late So Soon is a 2020 American documentary film, director Daniel Hymanson's first feature. It is a portrait of Chicago artists Jackie and Don Seiden in their later years as health issues jeopardize their life together in a multicolored Victorian house, which had become a work of art in itself over the course of their 50-year marriage – as well as an icon in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood.[3][4] Though primarily observational in form, the film includes several moments of interaction with Hymanson as well as scenes that draw on archival footage, some of which the Seidens recorded themselves.[5] Hymanson first met Jackie Seiden as a child, enrolling in her classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[6] Don Seiden also taught at the Art Institute and founded its art therapy program.[7]

The film's production took place off and on over five years[8] and received support from the Sundance Institute,[9] Kartemquin Labs, the Illinois Arts Council, and IFP.[10]

Release

[edit | edit source]

The film premiered at the True/False Film Fest in 2020[11] and went on to screen at DOC NYC,[12] BAFICI,[13] Big Sky,[14] Indie Memphis,[15] Ashland,[16] and the Calgary Underground Film Festival, where it received a Special Jury Prize for Documentary Filmmaking.[17]

Oscilloscope acquired the film’s worldwide rights before distributing it theatrically in the United States.[18] In March 2023, So Late So Soon had its streaming premiere on The Criterion Channel.[19]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Across its festival run and theatrical release, the film met with a favorable response in outlets such as Filmmaker,[20] The Hollywood Reporter,[21] The Capital Times,[22] Paste,[23] Senses of Cinema,[24] RogerEbert.com,[25] Vox,[26] and VOX Magazine.[27] Critics have commended the film for the intimacy it achieves with its protagonists[28] and for an associative narrative structure,[29] evocative of how memory and emotion operate.[30]

IndieWire selected the film as a Critic's Pick[31] and the IDA Awards shortlisted it for Best Feature in 2021.[32]
