Higher Love is a raw, up-close-and-personal depiction of what it's like to love someone who doesn't want to be saved due to an addiction that comes before everything and everyone! Even pregnancy and the presence of a new life couldn't defeat the monster that so many families know as addiction. The relationship between Nani and Daryl was toxic but he didn't want to give up on a love that he knew could be so beautiful. I've watched Higher Love too many times to count and each time the story yanked at heart strings. I wish I could give it 20 stars! It's a MUST SEE!!!! Bravo!
An incredibly powerful feature debut from Oswald. Higher Love, in its observational and unflinching style confronts viewers with the stark realities of Camden's opioid epidemic through voices of individuals/communities that are never genuinely expressed. A lens with little filter that proves gripping, infuriating and heartbreaking, while being patient, emotionally intuitive and without judgement from beginning to end. A must see doc!
Unparalleled access to a story that that too many of us know personally - friends/family trapped in a drug epidemic that destroys love and lives indiscriminately.... The only cliche I can think of to help describe the feelings I was left basking in after watching Higher Love is "Hope is the last to die"
Having had the chance to see this film, I have not only learned so much more about the epidemic of the effects of drug addiction, but found that the compelling and heartbreaking story is all true. The film work, and the stories being told in this film, shoots it right to the top. If you see one movie this year, this is the one, because not only will you feel all of the feelings, but you will learn so much along the way.
All I need to say is, if you have ever known someone and felt, "why would they do this?" You must watch this movie. Must just just watch.
A gripping and heart wrenching tale of the opioid pandemic in the US. Oswald's feature film beautifully brings the viewer into a world they would have never had access to otherwise. Oswald brings the characters to life through his art, creating a platform for them to share their narratives with the world.
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.
