- "A striking portrait of girlhood, adolescence, and the disintegration of a family. The story is narrated by an adolescent female voice and uses an odd blend of home movies and archival films. In a series of connected anecdotes, funny and sad, it tells, sometimes in mythic parables, of a girl's struggle to understand her relationship to her brainy, insensitive but-possibly-still loving dad."@en
- "A contemporary classic and a landmark in autobiographical filmmaking, 'Sink or Swim' is an unflinching account of the highly charged relationship between a daughter and her father. Through a series of twenty-six short stories, a young girl chronicles the childhood events that shaped her ideas about fatherhood, family relations, work and play. As the stories unfold, a dual portrait emerges: that of a father who cared more for his career than for his family, and of a daughter who was deeply affected by his behavior. Working in counterpoint to the forceful text are sensual black and white images that depict both the extraordinary and ordinary events of daily life. This formally complex and emotionally intense film is fraught with tension, ambivalence and love. --Kanopy."@en
- "A compelling account of the immutable, highly charged relationship between a father and daughter. As simple as ABC-- a young girl narrates twenty-six short stories which recount memories of a father she both fears and admires. He is more concerned with his career than his family, which affects his daughter greatly."@en
- "Autobiographical film that plays with language, home movies and archival film to explore a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship."@en
- "This film tells of the filmmaker's difficult and divided relationship with her father. The narrator is the voice of the young girl speaking in the third person. Through a simple but rigorous structure of twenty-six short stories which correspond to the letters of the alphabet, a dual pattern slowly evolves of a father more concerned with career and discipline than with creating a secure home life and of a daughter who is unable to forget. This is a personal film that opens up some general questions about generational and gender difference. Six years earlier Friedrich made The Ties That Bind about her relationship with her mother."@en
