Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film I'm proud of my big cousins for being so brave to tell this story!!! It has been blown off too long. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Family Affair is a fairly similar documentary to "Capturing the Friedmans." The key difference being that in Friedman's there are questions to the guilt of the offender, but in Family Affair, the guilt is laid out on the table. In a way, that is what makes this documentary so hard to watch and equally so compelling. Told from the point of view of the brother of three sister victims of their father, Family Affair is a dark look at what effect abuse can have on the lives and psyche of an entire family. I expect this doc to get a theatrical release this year, especially with Oprah on its side. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most powerful and smart films I've seen this year. Certainly the most provocative and insightful on the subject of family secrets, which we all seem to have. A deeply moving account of forgiveness and courage. I don't know if it will win an Oscar, but certainly worthy of consideration. I found this trailer at YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmwpUliD0oE Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily my favorite documentary from this year's Independent Film Festival of Boston. A raw, real portrait of a family's ugly secret which was brought out into the open when the only male child of a family of four shot his sister accidentally while playing with his father's rifle. Unlike 2004's "Tarnation", there are no frills here, interview after interview unfolds the inner feelings of every member of the house, from the abusive father to the children and their estranged mother. An uncompromised heartbreaking look at the ugliest of moments and attitudes of a family that is forever damaged but still functioning.
