A difficult watch that tackles how drug abuse affects lives. A difficult watch with a powerful ending.

The gritty film admirably tackles its subject with minimal sympathy or judgment.

It is never an easy watch seeing people destroy themselves like this, but Oswald gives us an opportunity to get to know them, mostly using Daryl's story to trace a period time well past the birth of their son.

Rated: 3/4

Oswald's unflinching approach is both his film's greatest strength as well as what can make it difficult viewing at times.

Rated: 4/5

By the time you get to the credits cover version of Steve Winwood's title song, you will be ready to jump out of your skin at the terrible state of the people shown.

Higher Love tells the larger story of the opioid epidemic ravaging the US through the micro lens of the individual lives touched by this scourge. At once heartbreaking, it's also a tale of hope.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
