Our Father

Director Lucie Jourdan paints a vividly disturbing picture of Cline, using his own words and actions against him, but wisely and compassionately makes “Our Father” as much about the victims...

A horror story presented as too much of a horror movie.

“Isn’t this terrible?” the documentary asks, while never digging much deeper.

The film is rife with harrowing insights about medical malfeasance and God complexes.

The sense of violation that this story entails is almost palpable, and Our Father certainly conveys that. If only the filmmakers had trusted the audience enough to present it in a more unadorned manner.

Simple, unbelievable and simply unbelievable.

The documentary does a great job at showing how much the half-siblings fought to get their voice heard and emphasising the evil nature of his actions.

Equally enthralling, sickening, and astonishing, Our Father was made to no longer silence Dr. Cline’s victims.

Our Father is a compelling story, one that explores the fragile intersection of social, legal and cultural ailments.

I hope it’s clear how terrifying and sickening this documentary, in this time, in this context, is.
