An Anarchist's Story offers a compelling glimpse into the life of Ethel MacDonald, a figure who somehow got lost in the pages of history. The film weaves together drama and documentary in a way that's not always seamless, but that adds to its charm. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, reflecting the tumultuous times she lived in. It's raw and heartfelt, focusing on themes of resistance and the often-overlooked contributions of women in political movements. The practical effects are minimal, yet they serve the narrative well. What stands out here is not just Ethel's bravery but the bittersweet realization of her obscurity—it's a reflective piece that lingers in the mind long after viewing.
