DVD Reviews of Shattered Spirits
DVD Review: An Honest Look at an Alcoholic Family
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this is about the best movie I have seen about how addiction impacts a family. Though it is a made-for-T.V. movie from the late 1980's, it feels very contemporary in terms of the story that it tells. It is especially poignant that the lead character is played by Martin Sheen. One has to wonder how he landed this role, and whether addiction runs in his family as well as in his character's.
I think that a particular strength of this movie is how it depicts the impact that alcoholism has on the non drinking family members. Most movies about addiction and recovery (i.e., Clean and Sober, 28 Days, etc.) focus primarily on the addict. This is a mistake, as addiction almost always takes a toll on the whole family. This movie is well worthwhile. I highly recommend it.
