The Carters: Hurts to Love You

Angel Carter recounts her childhood growing up in a dysfunctional home made worse by money and fame from one of the biggest musical acts of our time.

Soleil Moon Frye and Angel do a masterful job of sharing intimate details without feeling exploitive of the tragedies the Carter family has faced. There is nothing salacious. There are some harrowing details, and this movie is not lighthearted, at any point. It may be triggering for anyone who has experienced interpersonal abuse, but it's also what makes Angel's message so powerful.

This movie shows how Angel and Nick have struggled to break the cycle of family dysfunction, and it's a message that many need to hear.

The storytelling was beautifully done- What really stood out was the raw honesty. There was no sugarcoating, no glossing over the pain. It was real, vulnerable, and at times heartbreaking-but also deeply inspiring. Watching their resilience, the way they confronted their demons and fought for their love and sobriety, made it impossible not to root for them.

The storytelling was beautifully done- emotional without feeling overly dramatized, and full of quiet moments that hit just as hard as the big ones. It reminded me how messy, complicated, and brave real love and healing can be.

This is more than just a documentary; it's a testimony of survival, growth, and the power of connection. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates raw human stories and isn't afraid to feel something real. Thank you for sharing your story.

Wow. Ive seen a few other documentaries and videos of Aaron and the rest of the family but this one was the most original and true depiction of their lives (and deaths). Nothing sugar coated - nothing exaggerated. It was hearbreaking. Soleil Moon Fry did a spectacular job on this one. The fact that Nick and Angel are this strong, after losing 3 siblings and their father so close together isb miracle on its own right. It told the story from their perspectives and not the media's or any outsider's interpretation. I tried to get through without crying but failed miserably. Especially the ending. If you have a heart and soul, you will too. RIP CARTER FAMILY.

A tale of family trauma, financial abuse, addiction, mental health, child stardom, and abandonment. This family has gone through a lot, and the parents are to blame.

While I would have appreciated a more in depth/focused interview with Nick, we do hear from him via a couple of conversations in front of the camera. The majority of the narrative comes from Angel, Aaron's twin. I also felt like Aaron's story overshadowed the other siblings, but I know there was a lot more documentation/screenshots/etc.

Overall, this 2-part documentary is worth your time if you were ever interested in Nick Carter, the Carter family, BSB, etc. I wish the very best to Nick and Angel and their families.
