Mia P As Angel says, we've heard the Carter story before but never from them. This is the real Carter family, not from gossip rags or "true crime" exploits, but from home movies, family friends, and Angel and Nick themselves. Angel and Nick are surprisingly vulnerable and open about their pain and loss. It's also shockingly relatable to anyone who has dealt with family dysfunction. Fame and money is only a small part of the story here. It's cliche to hate the Carter parents, but what's not often told is how Nick stepped up to be a surrogate parent to his siblings. Lori Knight, their publicist and longtime family friend, shares that whenever the kids needed something she always contacted Nick, never their parents. Anyone who has dealt with family dysfunction can relate to the parentification of older siblings, and Nick's sense of responsibility and guilt that he couldn't do more for them. Angel and Soleil do a fantastic job of telling the Carters' story earnestly, without sugarcoating any of the tragedy. It's intimate and heartbreaking, but a message of love for all of their siblings, and anyone else suffering with generational trauma. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Maggie w Stunningly beautiful, heart breaking and hopeful. Soleil directed this with such love and a deep respect for a family dealing with addiction and mental health. Just incredible. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Mayra L Just wow, a powerful documentary. The storytelling was beautifully done—emotional without feeling overly dramatized, and full of quiet moments that hit just as hard as the big ones. It reminded me how messy, complicated, and brave real love and healing can be. This is more than just a documentary; it’s a testimony of survival, growth, and the power of connection. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates raw human stories and isn’t afraid to feel something real. Thank you for sharing your story.
