Hope Litoff embarks on an exhaustive investigation to discover why her talented and much-loved sister Ruth committed suicide in 2008.

Through this unvarnished and sometimes brutal soul-baring process, Litoff ultimately achieves an expression of her grief that is palpable and feels true to the viewer... a heartfelt tribute to her sister’s work and the connection that they shared.

The more Hope's own obsession grows, the more involving the movie gets, even as it raises ethical questions about its making - and about those who continue to watch.

Rough-hewn stylistically and occasionally bordering on self-indulgence, 32 Pills: My Sister's Suicide nonetheless packs a powerful emotional punch with its unflinching portrait of two siblings dealing with past and present demons.

Hope's film documents the internal life of a person with mental illness, and the ways that her sister’s struggle and suicide led to the filmmaker’s own mental health and addiction crises.

There are no clear answers, emotions, or stories in this documentary. Everything is muddled and difficult in a way that seems to mirror its creator's pain.

3/5

32 Pills portrays a creative spirit hoping to refine her struggle and agony into work that would have remained poignant had the artist lived. We meet both a driven spirit and one too often forced to disappoint those around her.

A powerful film that illuminates not only the victims of suicide, but how largely it can effect their loved ones.

Art Sadness & Depression is a very fine line. Beautifully Sad Film. Amazing Artistic Photography and a wonderful Grieving Sister whom I feel for greatly.

Haven't figure out if the director/stars problems are real, but since it's advertising itself as an honest look I have to wonder shy so many people enabled her own descent and would caution people away from watching!

Self indulgent garbage. The suicide of a sick person is sad; the exploitation of her death by her younger sister is tragic. What an ugly mess.

Extremely emotional and powerful storytelling. Not only with amazing talent by the producers, the writers, and the filmers; but with Ruth's raw talent and beautiful eye.
