All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022)
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a mixed bag
5 March 2023 - 17 out of 23 users found this review helpful.
ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED provides insight into the life of Nan Goldstein, a remarkable artist and activist. However, the film's attempt to weave in the story of the Sackler family detracts from the impact of it. The documentary would have been stronger if it had focused solely on the Sackler family's impact on the opioid epidemic and their legal battles. Poitras' use of Goldin's photography to illustrate her personal life is fantastic, but it feels disconnected from the rest of the film's themes.
Despite these issues, the documentary has its moments. The visuals are stunning, and the film provides a unique perspective on the opioid epidemic and the impact of the Sackler family's actions.
