Great Photo, Lovely Life Reviews

wow what a great documentary, not very talked about.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An unflinching and human look at family dynamics and inter generational abuse.

I really appreciate the filmmaker’s willingness to have hard conversations with everyone from the main perpetrator (her grandfather) to complicit family members, family victims, and nonfamily victims. She showed the abuser as a human but deeply flawed and unrepentant person. She also holds others accountable for enabling abuse without demonizing them, which sheds light on how abuse happens and is perpetuated.

Disturbing topic but really insightful approach.

Also, as insinuated by the doc—enough of abuse enablers saying “You have to move forward,” “you can’t change the past,” “you have to forgive.” Any or all of those might be true but they’re personal decisions for the victims to make and shouldn’t be used as loopholes for accountability.

Great doc I loved that they tried to give closure to everyone in the situation. Couldn’t believe the grandpop was talking so freely about what he done crazy . 10/10 story was greatly told . Just mad that this was even a situation someone had to deal with wow

Wow this was a rollercoaster. You don’t get this perspective very often. So well and respectfully made. Respect for the granddaughter that opened up the can of worms to help her family (and other families) heal.

reminds me of my grandfather !! and not in a good way

A heartbreaking example of generational trauma and the disgusting truth that some people never change

What a great film. You don’t get this kind of perspective very often.

wow.

so interesting. this man is truly a sociopath

wildly disturbing story

Sick and twisted family

The mom just pisses me off so much that I can’t deal with this.

Trigger warning! Within the first 30 minutes I almost turned it off

Phenomenal

so good, anyone who is/has/knows someone struggling with sa from family member should watch this. genuinely healing. 10/10 phenomenally shot, thank you.

This is a phenomenal doc. The filmmaker was able to access so many people affected by her grandfather’s abuse. I believe as a SA survivor herself, she honed in immediately on the parts of the story which needed to be uncovered. The conversations around forgiveness are compelling.
