Sister Morphine stands out in the documentary niche, delving deep into the lives of nurses in Newfoundland and Labrador who are wrestling with addiction. The atmosphere is raw and unflinching, giving you a front-row seat to their struggles—both with the substances they handle and the societal judgments that strip away their dignity. Pacing is introspective, with the film allowing moments of vulnerability to linger, making you sit with the discomfort.
