Film Threat

Whatever Boyle imagined when she was wee about what kind of films she wanted to make, I can guarantee she never imagined this one. Thank goodness she is as good a filmmaker as she is because you cannot underestimate the importance of this documentary.

Rated: 9/10

Movie Nation

The inclusion of extensive home movies and deep-embedded background that Jamie Boyle’s direct witnessing of all this lends “Anonymous Sister” an authenticity and personal investment that few films on this subject could match.

Rated: 3.5/4

In Review Online

Anonymous Sisters is a fairly standard documentary — there are rarely any aesthetic embellishments to Boyle’s direction — but its brilliance lies in its familial intimacy and lived-in closeness.
