A compelling, heartbreaking must watch!

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.

Grim, close-up, gut-wrenching

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"

A gripping and emotionally intuitive must see!

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!

An absolute must watch.

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.

Epic!

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!
