You Cried: Let Me Go

About This Movie

You Cried: Let Me Go is a deeply personal documentary, where Anne-Claire Poirier confronts her own grief and the complex realities of addiction. The tone is raw and unflinching, almost painfully intimate. Poirier’s pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence to weigh heavily, as she reflects on the life and tragic death of her daughter. The film explores themes of loss, societal failure, and the heartbreaking struggle of addiction. It’s not just about the daughter’s life, but also a mother’s yearning for understanding and closure. The framing, with its candid interviews and archival footage, offers a haunting yet honest look at a world many choose to ignore. Definitely an experience that lingers long after viewing.
