Sierra B @sbmbolin Apr 19 Super sad, but pretty cool that the victim himself created the documentary himself entirely. See more Tyler C. @Tydolla92 Nov 4 A moving, haunting documentary done without fluff, cliche editing, or romanticized fear. It is deeply impactful to see the victim processing trauma throughout his childhood videos and triumphant to see the young adult he becomes. See more Tom F @RT55173143 04/26/2024 I watched this because of its %100 on Rotten Tomatoes, and my initial bias is to prove RT wrong. But the assembly of home videos as a backdrop to multigenerational trauma was very potent, and a good reason to keep watching creative documentaries. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 02/11/2024 I've said it before and I'm saying it again - no fictional movie will ever be able to match the power and authenticity of a good documentary - and I can already tell this is going to be an all-time great. It's one of those motion pictures where you're paralyzed for a few moments at its conclusion as you marinate in what you just witnessed. The brilliant use of home movies throughout is indispensable in allowing us to know the people involved on a much more personal level and therefore react to their drama in a truly meaningful way. Watching this reminded me a lot of my favorite documentary of all time, CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS, which also dealt with family abuse but left a lot more unanswered questions. This is far from an easy movie to sit through, and it is uncensored but tactful in its descriptions of the events that make up the bulk of the story. And as we learn more about what's going on, it almost becomes too much to comprehend. Those easily upset or troubled by films involving young children may want to give this a pass - it is an unforgettable but truly devastating experience. And kudos to director Neulinger for not only having the bravery to relive the experiences of his past but to do so in a very cinematic and impressively shot film. This will be added to my list of the 10 best films of 2019. See more 03/16/2022 Heartbreaking, shocking, emotional. Unbelievable story.
