Anonymous Sister

‘“ONE OF THE MOST MOVING DOCUMENTARIES OF ALL TIME.”‘

‘“YOU CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS DOCUMENTARY.”‘

‘“SEARING, ACHINGLY PERSONAL…An impressive feat of editing.”‘

‘“A FULL-ON CINEMATIC DISQUISITION on the terrible, rippling side effects and consequences of the pharmaceutical industry’s greed, which in turn reflects capitalistic rapaciousness more broadly." ‘

‘"SHOCKING, UPSETTING, MADDENING AND NECESSARY." ‘

‘“AN AUTHENTICITY AND PERSONAL INVESTMENT THAT FEW FILMS ON THIS SUBJECT COULD MATCH.” ‘

‘“AN ARTFUL, SEARING PORTRAYAL of how ordinary people were deluded and betrayed and pushed to addiction. THIS FILM IS NOT EASILY FORGOTTEN” ‘

‘“BOYLE PROVES A MASTERFUL EDITOR of her archival treasure trove, manipulating time to walk us backwards and forwards through the highs and lows of family history. Dedicated to everyone who did not survive, ANONYMOUS SISTER reminds us at every turn to hold the perpetrators accountable." ‘

‘“EMPATHY EVIDENT IN EVERY SCENE”‘

‘"REFUSES PURDUE PHARMA THE COMFORTABLE LUXERY OF DISTANCE for their role in destroying families like Boyle’s. In a culture which views addiction as a wilful abnegation of life, Boyle’s documentary shines a light on people who desperately want to live. SEARINGLY VISCERAL, ITS BRILLIANCE LIES IN ITS FAMILIAL INTIMACY AND LIVED-IN CLOSENESS.” ‘

‘“RAW, POIGNANT, AND DEEPLY PERSONAL.”‘

‘"TURNING PERSONAL PAIN INTO ART OF VALUE is a tale as old as time. However, director Jamie Boyle handles her trauma with AN UNFLINCHING EYE that few directors would feel comfortable revealing. The resulting film is a response to the Sackler discourses of the past decade, forcing the audience to see the humanity in the epidemic." ‘

‘“AN INTIMATE LOOK AT WHO WE SEE AT THE HEART OF ADDICTION.” ‘

‘“ANONYMOUS SISTER draws its strength from emotional truth, from the human face. It’s AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK, ONE YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS.” ‘

‘“INTIMATE AND VULNERABLE”‘

‘“INTENSELY PERSONAL”‘
