      Audience Member Brave enough to say the things I've been struggling to say about my own abuse in my family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Andre A The documentary “Relative” is a brave investigation of family secrets and how they adversely impacted family members for generations. The impact is evident even in family members who tried to bury emotions from their experiences decades prior. As the documentary unfolds, breadth of the trauma comes to light. It was not just one person or two people who were victims, but rather several people across multiple family units. The homes movies, which are integral to the documentary, portray happy times with extended family members enjoying each other’s company. Laughter abounds! However, the movies also provide glimpses to an underlying menace, in which there are clearly domineering figures and those who are subject of their dominance. Thankfully, “Relative” provided a vehicle for the filmmaker’s family to discuss the traumas of the past, and it provides encouragement and an opportunity for viewers with similar family experiences to engage in conversations of their own. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This interweaving of testimony and archival materials does render vividly how a “sickness” of molestation and violence from “people you’re supposed to love and trust” can endure over decades, inflicting scars that “never leave you.” Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
